Solution

The correct option is B
Class strength = 40
No. of students like to study English = $40 \times (\frac{1}{5}) = 8$
No. of students like to study mathematics = $40 \times (\frac{2}{5}) = 16$
Remaining students = $40 - (8 + 16)$
= $16$
So, fractions of the total number of students like to study science = $\frac{16}{40} = \frac{2}{5}$
