Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

\(M ∝ n^2\sqrt{q}\)

\(M = Kn^2\sqrt{q}\)

K = \(\frac{M}{n^2\sqrt{q}}\)

K = \(\frac{24}{2^2\sqrt4}\)

k = \(\frac{24}{8} = 3\)

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

M = \(Kn^2\sqrt{q}\)

M = \( 3\times5^2\sqrt9\)

\(M = 3\times25\times3\)

Therefore, M = 225.
