Solution

The correct option is A 225
Let the unknown number be x.

We know that the first number is 15.

It is given that sum of the above two numbers is five times the product of 24 and 2.

$x + 15 = 5 \times (24 \times 2)$

$\Rightarrow x + 15 = 5 \times 48$
$\Rightarrow x + 15 = 240$
$\Rightarrow x = 240 - 15$

Thus,
$\Rightarrow x = 225$

Hence, the second number is 225.
