(D) Let the third number be $100$.Since the first number is $90 \%$ less than the third number,the first number $= 100 - (90 \% 	ext{ of } 100) = 100 - 90 = 10$.Since the second number is $75 \%$ less than the third number,the second number $= 100 - (75 \% 	ext{ of } 100) = 100 - 75 = 25$.We need to increase the first number $(10)$ to make it equal to the second number $(25)$.The required increase $= 25 - 10 = 15$.The percentage increase required $= \left( \frac{	ext{Increase}}{	ext{Original Number}} ight) 	imes 100 = \left( \frac{15}{10} ight) 	imes 100 = 150 \%$.
