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
-
Let the number of infected students after days be .
Total students , so non-infected students .
Given rate of spread is directly proportional to the product of infected and non-infected students: where is a constant.
-
Separate variables and integrate.
Using partial fractions,
So,
Hence,
or
Therefore, for some constant .
-
Use initial condition .
So,
-
Use the condition .
-
Find .
Since ,
Thus,
So,
-
Final Answer
Number of infected students on the 8th day is:
