Let the five number in AP be a,b,c,d and e. 

a+b+c+d+e=25/2=12.5 
a+(a+y)+(a+2y)+(a+3y)+(a+4y)=25/2 
5a+10y=25/2 
a+2y=5/2 ==> 2a+4y=5 -->eq.#1 
Hey there! 


a/e=2/3 
a/(a+4y)=2/3 
3a-2(a+4y)=0 ==> a-8y=0 -->eq.#2 

Solving equations 1 and 2, we get a=2, y=1/4=0.25 
So, the five numbers in AP are 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75 and 3
Thanks for the awesome question :D !
