This is question to calculate the youth dependency ratio.
It is the relation between dependents (under the age of 16) and economically active.
Dependency ratio = Dependent population / Population under working age x 100
Dependency ratio = Population under 15 / Population between 15 to 65 x 100
Dependency ratio = 25million / 40 million x 100 = 62.5%
