Out of these 28200 seats were for the students of General Category while 7400 seats were reserved for SC and 3700 seats for ST. Find the percentage of seats available for students of General Category.

Answer 1

The total number of seats available for admission in 2009-10 = 49000
Seats reserved for General Category students = 28200
Seats reserved for SC Category students = 7400
Seats reserved for ST Category students = 3700
Percentage of seats reserved for students of General Category
$=\frac{28200}{49000}\times 100=\frac{282\times 100}{490}=\frac{28200}{490}=57.55\%$
