    As C/5 = F - 32/9
    if C = F = X° then X°/5 = X° - 32/9
    ⇒ 9X° = 5X° - 32 x 5
    ⇒ 4X° = - 32 x 5
    ⇒ X° = - 32 x 5/4 = - 40°

    Correct Option: B

    As C/5 = F - 32/9
    if C = F = X° then X°/5 = X° - 32/9
    ⇒ 9X° = 5X° - 32 x 5
    ⇒ 4X° = - 32 x 5
    ⇒ X° = - 32 x 5/4 = - 40°
