​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

total students = 40

number of students who like maths = (2/5)×40

= 16

number of students who like English = (1/5)×40

= 8

number of students who like science = 40 - (number of students who like maths + number of students who like English)

=> number of students who like science = 40 - (16+8)

=> number of students who like science = 40-24

=> number of students who like science = 16
