If the number of students in IIT Bombay is 20% less than the number of students in IIT Madras, then the number of students in IIT Bombay is:

A.

300

B.

500

C.

200

D.

400

Correct option is D

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 in IIT Bombay is 400.
