Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
\(3\sqrt{45}-12\sqrt{5}+16\sqrt{20}\\
3\sqrt{5\times 9}-12\sqrt{5}+16\sqrt{4\times 5}\\
3\times 3\sqrt{5}-12\sqrt{5}+16\times 2\sqrt{5}\\
9\sqrt{5}-12\sqrt{5}+32\sqrt{5}\\
29\sqrt{5}\)
\(3\sqrt{45}-12\sqrt{5}+16\sqrt{20}\\
3\sqrt{5\times 9}-12\sqrt{5}+16\sqrt{4\times 5}\\
3\times 3\sqrt{5}-12\sqrt{5}+16\times 2\sqrt{5}\\
9\sqrt{5}-12\sqrt{5}+32\sqrt{5}\\
29\sqrt{5}\)
