B Correct answer
Explanation

Selling price of 20 = Cost price of 25. Let CP of 1 be 1. CP of 20 = 20, SP of 20 = 25. Profit = 25 - 20 = 5. Profit % = (5/20) * 100 = 25%.

AI explanation

Let the cost price of one mango be Rs. 1, making the total cost price for 20 mangoes Rs. 20. The selling price of 20 mangoes equals the cost price of 25 mangoes, which is Rs. 25. Using the profit percentage formula, the profit is ((25 - 20) / 20) multiplied by 100, resulting in 25%.
