(D) The cost price $(CP)$ of $15$ mangoes is $1$ rupee.Therefore,the $CP$ of $1$ mango is $\frac{1}{15}$ rupee.We want a loss of $25 \%$,so the selling price $(SP)$ of $1$ mango should be $75 \%$ of the $CP$.$SP = \frac{75}{100} 	imes \frac{1}{15} = \frac{3}{4} 	imes \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{20}$ rupee.This means $1$ mango is sold for $\frac{1}{20}$ rupee.Therefore,for $1$ rupee,the number of mangoes sold is $20$.
