Solution :
Given: The sum of the first 20 terms of the series $\frac{1}{5×6}+\frac{1}{6×7}+\frac{1}{7×8}+....$
So, $a_{1} =5$ and $a_{20} =5+(20-1)×1=24$
20
th
term $=\frac{1}{24×25}$
$=\frac{1}{5×6}+\frac{1}{6×7}+\frac{1}{7×8}+.... + \frac{1}{24×25}$
$=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6} + \frac {1}{6} - \frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{8}+..............+\frac{1}{24}-\frac{1}{25}$
$=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{25}$
$=\frac{4}{25}$
$= 0.16$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.16.
