Correct Answer: $\frac{59}{40}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{1}{2}$ of $\frac{16}{5}+\frac{1}{8}$ of $\frac{24}{9} \times \frac{18}{12}-\frac{5}{8}$
= $\frac{8}{5}+\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{2}-\frac{5}{8}$
= $\frac{8}{5}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{5}{8}$
= $\frac{8}{5}+\frac{4-5}{8}$
= $\frac{8}{5}-\frac{1}{8}$
= $\frac{64-5}{40}$
= $\frac{59}{40}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{59}{40}$.
