The easiest way to tackle such questions is by writing the given stuff like this

18 gm - 100 cubic milliliters ...(1)

Need to calculate the active ingredient in 40 cubic milliliters of solution
Essentially, we need to change 100 to 40 in (1)

multiply by 40 and divide by 100 on both sides.

18 * (40/100) - 100 * (40/100)

36/5 - 40

7.2 - 40

Hence, E.
