(B) Let the marked price $(MP)$ of the book be $100$. Given that the commission is $10 \%$,the selling price $(SP_1)$ for the publisher is $100 - 10 = 90$. The publisher gains $20 \%$,so the cost price $(CP)$ is calculated as: $CP = \frac{SP_1}{1 + 	ext{Gain} \%} = \frac{90}{1.20} = 75$. Now,if the commission is increased to $15 \%$,the new selling price $(SP_2)$ becomes $100 - 15 = 85$. The new gain is $SP_2 - CP = 85 - 75 = 10$. The new gain percent is $\frac{	ext{Gain}}{CP} 	imes 100 = \frac{10}{75} 	imes 100 = \frac{2}{15} 	imes 100 = \frac{40}{3} = 13 \frac{1}{3} \%$.
