Answer
The provided statement does not make sense.
Work Step by Step
The imaginary number is also called a complex number, which is the product of a real number and an imaginary unit $i$.
The variable is a term which does not have any fixed value.
The number $5i$ shows an imaginary number, where $5$ is a constant or a real number and $i$ represents the imaginary unit.
The imaginary unit $i$ is the solution of the equation ${{x}^{2}}=-1$ and its value is equal to$\sqrt{-1}$.
In the number $5i$, the value of $i$ is equal to $\sqrt{-1}$, due to which it is not a variable.
Therefore, the provided statement does not make sense.
