Solution

To find the number of kids who prefer basketball, we need to find one-fifth of 40:
$\frac{1}{5} \times 40 = 8$

The number of kids who prefer cicket = Total students in class - number of kids who prefer basketball = 40 - 8 = 32

Difference between the number of kids who prefer cricket and the number of kids who prefer basketball = 32 - 8 = 24
