Correct answer
C7

Step-by-step explanation

4,9,14,19,, up to 25th  term

T25=4+(25-1)5

T25=4+120

T25=124

3,6,9,12,, up to 37th  term

T37=3+(37-1)3

T37=3+108

T37=111

Common difference of Ist  series is d1=5

Common difference of IInd  series is d2=3

First common term =9, and their common difference =15(LCM of d1 and d2.

So, the common terms are 9, 24, 39, 54, 69, 84, 99.
