Solution

The correct option is D 5
As $\frac{1}{5}$ of number of students in class play cricket and remaining play football
Number of students playing football = $\frac{4}{5}$ of number of students

$\frac{4}{5}$ of number of students
= 4X $\frac{1}{5}$ of number of students = 20

$\frac{1}{5}$ of number of students = $\frac{20}{4}$ = 5

So, number of students playing cricket = $\frac{1}{5}$ of number of students = 5
