Question

There are 196 countries in the world. How many students must be enrolled in a university to guarantee that there are at least 200 who come from the same country?

Answer 1

At least 39200 students.

Explanation:

Given that there are 196 countries in the world, and each country would have at least 200 students in a university.

For each country to have at least 200 students in the university, then;

Number of students enrolled in the university = number of required students x number of countries

= 200 x 196

= 39200

At least, 39200 students must be enrolled in the university. Provided that the admission procedures are conditioned for the purpose.
