Solution

The correct option is D

225


A = 25+n2, G = 25n = 5 n, H = 50n25+n

For A to be natural number, n should be an odd number

For G to be natural number, n has to be a perfect square

Hence, n should be both odd number & perfect square.

If n = 45, H = 50×4974=50×492×37 is not a natural number

If n = 81, H = 50×81106 is not a natural number

If n = 169, H = 50×13×1338 is also not a natural number

If n = 225, H = 50×/22545/2505=45 is a natural number

Hence, D is right option.
