Answer:

each policy will pay $25,000 of the loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the each policy will pay $25,000 of the loss. This is an equal share for each policy and is due to them having the pro rata liability clause. This clause states that a policy is only liable for an equal percentage of the loss if the insurer has other policies from other companies. As in this case.
