From: JEE Main 2022 (Online) 30th June Morning Shift
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 __________.

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 = ?
