Data Inadequate

- Let's define the two numbers as 5x (first number) and 4x (second number), reflecting the given ratio.

- We know that 40% of the first number, 5x, equals 12. Mathematically, 40% of 5x = 0.4 * 5x = 12.

- Solving for x, we get 2x = 12, which means x = 6.

- Therefore, the first number is 5x = 30 and the second number is 4x = 24.

- We are asked to find 50% of the second number. 50% of 24 = 0.5 * 24 = 12.

- Correct option is: 1, 12.
