    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

     Let the numbers be x and y.

     

    Then, xy = 9375 and\(\frac { X } { Y } \)=15

     

       \(\frac { XY } { (X/Y) } \)=\(\frac { 9375 } { 15 } \)

     

      y2 = 625.

     

       y = 25.

     

      x = 15y = (15 x 25) = 375.

     

      Sum of the numbers = x + y = 375 + 25 = 400.
