Correct Answer: $\sqrt{29}$
Solution : Given: $a=\frac{1}{a-5}(a>0)$ ⇒ $a^{2}-5a=1$ Dividing both sides by $a$ we have, ⇒ $a - 5=\frac{1}{a}$ ⇒ $a-\frac{1}{a}=5$ We know that: $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{2}-(a-\frac{1}{a})^{2}=4$ ⇒ $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{2}-(5)^{2}=4$ ⇒ $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{2}=25+4$ $\therefore(a+\frac{1}{a})=\sqrt{29}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{29}$.
