Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

Here you can see that

$49 a^{2}=(7 a)^{2}, 25 b^{2}=(5 b)^{2}, 70 a b=2(7 a)(5 b)$

Comparing the given expression with $x^{2}+2 x y+y^{2},$ we observe that $x=7 a$ and $y=5 b$ Using Identity $I$, we get

$49 a^{2}+70 a b+25 b^{2}=(7 a+5 b)^{2}=(7 a+5 b)(7 a+5 b)$
