Solution

The correct option is B 25%
Total number of toys made in each batch = $20$ .
Number of damaged toys in each batch = $5$

Fraction of damaged toys in each batch = $\frac{5}{20}$

To express $\frac{5}{20}$ as a percentage, convert it into a fraction with its denominator as 100.

$∴ \frac{5}{20} = \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} = \frac{25}{100}$

So, the percentage of damaged toys in each batch is 25%.
