Correct option is D
Given number pair 9:49
Logic: The given numbers are squares of prime numbers and alternative.
9:49
9 = 32 (where 3 is a prime number)
49 = 72 (where 7 is a prime number)
Check each options:
Option A: 64 : 81
64 = 82 (8 is not a prime)
81 = 92(9 is not a prime)
Incorrect.
Option B: 9 : 16
9=32 (3 is a prime)
16=42(4 is not a prime)
Incorrect.
Option C: 4 : 78
4 =22 (2 is a prime)
78 (is not a perfect square).
Incorrect.
Option D: 121 : 289
121=112 (11 is a prime)
289 = 172 (17 is a prime) (follows the same pattern of squares of prime numbers.)
Thus, the correct option is: (d) 121:289
