Correct Answer: 300 and 175


Solution : The numbers in the ratio 12 : 7 can be represented as $12x$ and $7x$, where $x$ is a common factor.
Given that their Highest Common Factor (HCF) is 25, we can say that $x = 25$.
Therefore, the two numbers are,
First number = $12x = 12 \times 25 = 300$
Second number = $7x = 7 \times 25 = 175$
Hence, the correct answer is 300 and 175.
