D Correct answer
Explanation

For any two numbers: Product = LCM × HCF. Given LCM = 4125, HCF = 25, and first number = 375. Second number = (LCM × HCF) ÷ First number = (4125 × 25) ÷ 375 = 275. Difference = 375 - 275 = 100. Therefore, the second number is 100 less than the first. Options A, B, C (25, 50, 75) are incorrect as they don't satisfy the LCM-HCF product relationship.
