Answer:

( option d )

25 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cp of 15 table be rs. x

then the cp of 1 table will be x/15

similarly let the sp of 20 tables be x

then the sp of 1 table be x/20

as we know,

loss = cp - sp

= x/ 15 - x / 20

=  4x - 3x/ 60

= x/60

LOss % = l/cp * 100

( x/60 )/ x/ 15 * 100

( x / 60 * 15 / x ) * 100

1 / 4 * 100

=> 25 %
