$({\rm{E}} = 5a + \frac{1}{{7a}} = 5)$

Multiplying both the sides by 7/5,

$(\frac{7}{5} \times 5a + \frac{1}{{7a}} \times \frac{7}{5} = 5 \times \frac{7}{5})$

$(\Rightarrow 7a + \frac{1}{{5a}} = 7)$

Squaring both the sides, we get,

$(\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 49{a^2} + \frac{1}{{25{a^2}}} + 2 \times 7a \times \frac{1}{{5a}} = 49\\ \Rightarrow 49{a^2} + \frac{1}{{25{a^2}}} = 49 - \frac{{14}}{5}\\ \Rightarrow 49{a^2} + \frac{1}{{25{a^2}}} = \frac{{231}}{5} \end{array})$

∴ Answer is 231/5
