Solution

The correct option is A 29
Let,the two number be x and y
Therefore,we get
xy=7
x3y3=133
Now,
xy=7
Squaring both sides,
=>(xy)2=72
=>x2+y22xy=49
=>x2+y2=49+2xy
Now,
x3y3=133
=>(xy)(x2+y2+xy)=133
=>7(49+2xy+xy)=133
=>49+3xy=1337
=>3xy=1949
=>xy=303
=>xy=10
Putting the value of xy we get,
x2+y2=49+2(10)
=>x2+y2=4920
=>x2+y2=29
