When a black guinea pig is crossed with a white guinea pig, what coloured guinea pigs are obtained in F_(1) if black colour is dominant over white?

In a cross between plants with purple flowers and plants with white flowers the offsprings of F_(1) generation all had white flowers. When the F_(1) generation was self-crossed, it was observed in the F_(2) generation that out of 100, 75 flowers were white. Make a cross and answer the following : (i) What are the genotypes of the F_(2) progeny? (ii) What is the ratio of 'White : Purple' flowers in the F_(2) generation?
