Answer :

A medical company had planed to fill 20 litre of cough syrup .

So,
Total number of small bottles of capacity 125 ml of each used to fill 20 litre of cough syrup = $\frac{20 \times 1000}{125} = 20 \times 8$ = 160
And
Total number of small bottles of capacity 100 ml of each used to fill 20 litre of cough syrup = $\frac{20 \times 1000}{100} = 20 \times 10$ = 200

So,

Total number of bottles more required  =  200 - 160 =  40                         ( Ans )
