    A) 25

    Solution :

    [a] SP of 25 m of cloth \[-\] CP of 26 m of cloth = SP of 5m of cloth \[[\because \text{SP}-\text{CP}=\text{Profit }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\] \[\Rightarrow \] SP of 20 m of cloth = CP of 25 m of cloth \[\therefore \] Profit per cent \[=\frac{25-20}{20}\times 100\]                         = 25%                         [Using \[\frac{a-b}{b}\times 100%\]]
