Correct Answer

✅ Option c — $37$

All Options:

  • A$15$
  • B$25$
  • C$37$
  • D$49$

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let's analyze the properties of the numbers $15, 25, 37, 49\displaystyle :<br>- &#36;15 is a composite number ($15 = 3 ×\displaystyle \times 5\displaystyle ).<br>- &#36;25 is a composite number ($25 = 5 ×\displaystyle \times 5\displaystyle ). It is also a perfect square.<br>- &#36;49 is a composite number ($49 = 7 ×\displaystyle \times 7\displaystyle ). It is also a perfect square.<br>- &#36;37 is a prime number.

Since $37$ is the only prime number in the given set (while the others are all composite), it is the odd man out.

Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
