Download Solution PDFCalculation
The number of students at IIT Bombay and in IIT Madras = 2080 - (430 + 350 + 400)
⇒ 2080 - 1180
⇒ 900
Let the number of students at IIT Madras be 5a.
The number of students at IIT Bombay = 5a - 5a × 20%
⇒ 4a
⇒ 5a + 4a = 900
⇒ 9a = 900
⇒ a = 100
4a → 400
The number of students at IIT Bombay is 400.
