The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Let the first term be a and the common difference d. The 19th term is \(a + 18d = 0\), so \(a = -18d\) (d is non-zero, otherwise all terms would be zero).
49th term = \(a + 48d = 30d\). 29th term = \(a + 28d = 10d\).
Ratio = \(30d : 10d = 3 : 1\).
Answer: (4) 3 : 1
