If you mean a 25 Hz induction motor would not run *at the correct original speed* on 60Hz, you are right.
However a 25 Hz induction motor will definitely run on 60Hz although it will be 2.4 times faster.
You definitely cannot run a 60Hz induction motor on 25 Hz power because it doesn't have enough iron and windings and will over heat immediately.
