Answer
3 raised to 5th power.
Reasoning
3 raised to the 5th power = 3 ^ 5 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243
and
5 raised to the 3rd power = 5 ^ 3 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125.
Note: BrainBashers has a Dark Mode option. For BrainBashers, I'd recommend not using your browser's built-in dark mode, or any dark mode extensions (sometimes you can add an exception for a specific website).
