B Correct answer
Explanation

Let Marked Price = 100. After 20% discount, SP = 80. Gain is 15%, so CP = 80/1.15 ≈ 69.565. At 25% discount, new SP = 100 - 25 = 75. New gain = (75 - 69.565)/69.565 × 100 ≈ 7.8125%. Option A (8.8125%) and D (19.8125%) are incorrect, Option C (16.22%) doesn't account for the cost price correctly.
