2Why not? Why do you think there is a problem? – kjetil b halvorsen Nov 03 '14 at 10:23

1If the sample sizes are so different the test is more sensitive to failure of the equal variance assumption; if the variances are similar, it should be fine. – Glen_b Nov 03 '14 at 12:26

Yes, you can. The equality of sample numbers is not a requirement for T test at all, but both samples should be greater than 10 or 15. Considering your both sample sizes are greater than 25, you could even use Z test to compare normally distributed variables in them.
