IMO D 133 . Given ratio b/w assistant & students => 3:80 i.e. students will be less than or equal to 80x .In other words , maximum possible students 80x . Now as per question 3x = 5 i.e. x = 5/3 , Number of students 80x = 400/3 = 133.33 . We have to round down here to maintain the inequality . So Students = 133 Hence Ans D . OA pls
