so I was assuming 50  from the question but like I said , I have never done this type of question before

ganpat · Answer

ok as per my understanding, Science faculty is 1369/ 355 = 3.85..

anonymous · Answer

additional notes that may help
Note: SD is the Standard Divisor.

Note: Each State has a Standard Quota

and chance of selecting senate from science faculty = 50 / 3.85 = 12 .98..

general quota =Total population/ Science population 

and senate quota = 50/ science general quota..
