The total number of plants is 100 + 140 + 80 + 60 + 40 = 420.
The number of type B plants is 140.
Probability of picking a type B plant = Number of type B plants / Total number of plants
Probability of picking a type B plant = 140 / 420
Probability of picking a type B plant = 1/3
Therefore, the probability that the farmer will randomly pick a type B plant is 1/3.
Plant types ------------ A, B, C, D, E
