Let there be 100 students in college X.
Since 55% of the class is women, there are 55 women and 45 men in the class respectively.
Total students pursuing Mathematics is $$0.2*45 + 0.4*55 = 9 + 22 = 31$$

Therefore, the total students in college X who take the mathematics course is 31(Option B)

let students = 100

men 45 20% = 9

22+9 = 31

(B) imo
