sry everyone i wasn't able to reply as i had gone abroad.
 
ok here is the soln. to the ques i posted 10 days back
 
Let 5x + 3 = t
x = (t -3)/5
=> f(x) = f((t-3)/5) 
also f(x) = f(t)  --------------- given
hence f(t) = f((t-3)/5)
=> f(x) = f((x-3)/5) 
now if we put (x-3)/5 = k then f(k) =f((k -3)/5)
therefore we can write
  f(x) = f((x-3)/5) = f[{(x-3/5) - 3}/5] = f[(x-3 + 3*5)/5^2] = f({(x - 3 + 3*5)/5^2) - 3}/5)
= f[(x - 3 + 3*5 + 3*5^2)/5^3
repeating this n times we get
f(x) = f[(x-(3 + 3*5 +3*52 + 3*53 + 3*54 ......3*5n-1)/5n)]
= f(x - 3/4(5n- 1)/5n)  -------------- (using sum of g.p)
= f[{(4x + 3)/4*5n} - 3/4]
 
therefore f(x) = f[{(4x + 3)/4*5n} - 3/4]
as function is independent of n i.e for any value of n f(x) remains f(x) hence
by putting limits on l.h.s & r.h.s
lim n tending to infinity f(x) remains f(x)
& on r.h.s if n tends to infinity then f[{(4x + 3)/4*5n} - 3/4] becomes f(-3/4)
therefore 
f(x) = f(-3/4)
now f(-3/4) attains a constant value
hence its proved that  f(x) is a constant function 
i hope u all understood the solution
