4*4 = 16.
5*5 = 25.
6*6 = 36.
7*7 = 49.
8*8 = 64.
9*9 = 81.
10*10 = 100.
11*11 = 121.
12*12 = 144.
14*14 = 196.
15*15 = 225.
See you can't see no 72. So what you got left is 72.
5*5 = 25.
6*6 = 36.
7*7 = 49.
8*8 = 64.
9*9 = 81.
10*10 = 100.
11*11 = 121.
12*12 = 144.
14*14 = 196.
15*15 = 225.
See you can't see no 72. So what you got left is 72.

Check if each number is a perfect square.
(16=4^{2})
(25=5^{2})
(36=6^{2})
And 72 is not a perfect square.
(144=12^{2})
(196=14^{2})
(225=15^{2})
So, 72 is the answer.
(16=4^{2})
(25=5^{2})
(36=6^{2})
And 72 is not a perfect square.
(144=12^{2})
(196=14^{2})
(225=15^{2})
So, 72 is the answer.

Why can't the answer be option C:196?
Because,
1+6=7
2+5=7
3+6=9
7+2=9
1+4+4=9
1+9+6=16
2+2+5=9.
Of all these numbers, only the sum of digits of 196 is even, rest is odd.

According to me,
1 + 6=7--odd
2 + 5=7--odd
3 + 6=9--odd
1 + 4 + 4 = 9--odd
1 + 9 + 6 = 16--even
2 + 2 + 5 = 9 --odd.
16 is an even number, why it is not 196?
1 + 6=7--odd
2 + 5=7--odd
3 + 6=9--odd
1 + 4 + 4 = 9--odd
1 + 9 + 6 = 16--even
2 + 2 + 5 = 9 --odd.
16 is an even number, why it is not 196?

Here answer will be 196 because sum of the digits in all the numbers are the odd number except 196.

Why the answer is not 196, when all sum of digits are odd except 196 which is even?
