(i) Students of General Category
(ii) Students of SC Category and ST Category taken together

Solution:

In 2009 - 10 total number of seats available = 49000

Seats available for students of general category = 28,200

% seats (General Category) = (28,200/4900) × 100

= 57.55%

(ii) Students reserved for SC category = 7400

Students reserved for ST category = 3700

Total number of students for both categories = 7400 + 3700 = 11000
