Formula = ((h-h1)/h1)*100.
= 25%.

15-12/15*100 shall comes 20 %, so the option should be D.

We can solve it simply as;

Dry volume and inundated volume are equal so the original volume of sand is 12 cm
12cm = 100% volume of given sample.
3cm = 100/4 = 25cm.

The sand bulks by 3cm and depth become 15cm which is 3cm greater than the original depth so bulking of sand is 3cm or 25%.
