Open a file for writing (almost the same as you do for reading), and replace your printf() calls with fprintf() calls.

Create your file pointer globally, by adding it before main.

ie:

// file to write to
FILE* outfile;

Than in whatever function you want to print to the file.

ie your maxMaths function:

void maxMaths(struct student data[])
{
        outfile = fopen("you file name.txt", "w");
	int temp=data[0].mathsScore;
	for(int i=0;i<20;i++)
	if(temp<data[i].mathsScore)
		temp=data[i].mathsScore;
	// printf("Maximum Score for Maths:%d", temp);
        fprintf( outfile, "Maximum Score for Maths:%d", temp);
}
