M varies jointly as the square of n and square root of q. If M = 24 when n = 2 and q = 4, find M when n = 5, q = 9.

A.

288

B.

400

C.

300

D.

225

Correct answer is D

Mn2q

M=Kn2q

K = Mn2q

K = 24224

k = 248=3

Now, let's find M when  n = 5 and q = 9

M = Kn2q

M = 3×529

M=3×25×3

Therefore, M = 225.
