m=3^(x+1)

=> m=3^x* 3

=> m/3 = 3^x

Also, 9^2x = 9^x *9^x => (3^x)^2 * (3^x)^2

=> (m/3)^2*(m/3)^2 => m^4/81

Hence Ans: E

Put $$x=1$$ in $$m$$=$$3^{x+1}$$ ==>$$m=3^2$$ ==> $$9$$

Now ,Put $$x=1$$ in $$9^{2x}$$ ==> $$81$$

Now put $$m=9$$ in answer options to get $$81$$

Only option E gives $$81$$
