Given:

 sin (5x - 25°) = cos(5y + 25°), where 5x - 25° and 5y + 25° are acute angles,

Concept used:

Sinθ = cos (90°- θ)

Calculation:

As per the question,

 sin (5x - 25°) = cos(5y + 25°)

⇒ sin (5x - 25°) = sin 90 - (5y + 25°)

⇒ (5x - 25°) = 90° - (5y + 25°) 

⇒ 5x + 5y =  90

⇒ x + y =  90/5

⇒ x + y =  = 18° 

∴ The correct option is 3
