Hello there,

● Answer -
(A) AB

● Explanation -
Lets consider Ma & Mb be molecular weights of element A & B and Wa & Wb be their participating weights in compound.

# Given that -
Wa/Wb = 25/75
Ma = 12.5
Mb = 37.5

# Solution -
Ratio of no of moles participating in compound is -
na/nb = (Wa/Ma) / (Wb/Mb)
na/nb = (Wa/Wb) × (Mb/Ma)
na/nb = (25/75) × (37.5/12.5)
na/nb = 1

Therefore, simplest formula of given compound would be AB.


Hope this helped you...
