Let F=\mathbbFqm, m>6, n a positive integer, and f=p/q with p, q co-prime irreducible polynomials in F[x] and deg(p) + deg(q)= n. A sufficient condition has been obtained for the existence of primitive pairs (α, f(α)) in F such that for any prescribed a, b in E=\mathbbFq, TrF/E (α) = a and TrF/E (α-1) = b. Further, for every positive integer n, such a pair definitely exists for large enough (q,m). The case n = 2 is dealt separately and proved that such a pair exists for all (q,m) apart from at most 64 choices.
