Question

A hostel has 100 students. On a certain day (consider it day zero) it was found that two students are infected with some virus. Assume that the rate at which the virus spreads is directly proportional to the product of the number of infected students and the number of non-infected students. If the number of infected students on 4th day is 30, then number of infected students on 8th day will be __________.

Correct answer
90

Step-by-step explanation

Total students = 100

At t = 0 (zero day), infected student = 2

Let at t = t day infected student = x

At t = t day non infected student = (100 x)

Rate of infection

Given,

...... (1)

Given, At, t = 0, x = 2

Putting value of c in equation (1), we get

Given, At t = 4, x = 30

Now, when t = 8, then r = ?
