Answer:

437.5 kg of first solution and 812.5 kg of second solution should be mixed to get desired solution.

Explanation:

Let the mass of the first solution be x and second solution be y.

Amount solution required = 1250 kg

x + y = 1250 kg....[1]

Percentage of ethanol in required solution = 12% of 1250 kg

Percentage of ethanol in solution-1 = 5% of x

Percentage of ethanol in required solution = 25% of y

5% of x +  25% of y =12% of 1250 kg

\frac{5}{100}\times x+\frac{25}{100}y=\frac{12}{100}\times 1250 kg

x + 5y = 3000 kg...[2]

Solving [1] and [2] we :

x = 437.5 kg   , y =  812.5 kg

437.5 kg of first solution and 812.5 kg of second solution should be mixed to get desired solution.
