Solution

The correct option is C 36
Let the number to be added be x Then
$\frac{4^{4} + x}{9^{9} + x} = \frac{4}{9} \Rightarrow \frac{16 + x}{81 + x} = \frac{4}{9}$
$\Rightarrow 144 + 9 x = 324 + 4 x$
$\Rightarrow 9 x - 4 x = 324 + 4 x$
$\Rightarrow 9 x - 4 x = 324 - 144 \Rightarrow 5 x = 180$
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{180}{5} = 36$
