A fifth of 10 is 2 ($$\frac{10}{5}$$).

So a value say x. $$x \times 2 = 5$$ or $$x=2.5$$.

Hence option A is correct!

thanks a lot SVP......I got confused by the language of the question.......

OK, now I got the question clearly

10 has five fifths, they are: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2

Above-mentioned question asked us- 5 is equivalent to exactly how many of those five fifths?

We can take two 2's and half of another 2 (= 1) to get the value of 5
