In a hostel building there are four rooms on each floor numbered 101 to 104 on the ground floor from left to right, 201 to 204 on the first floor from left to right, such that the rooms 101 is just below the room 201 and so on up to 401 to 404. The following information is also known:
I. None of the rooms are unoccupied.
II. No two rooms on the same floor have same number of students.
III. The number of students in rooms one above and below each other are all distinct.
IV. On the first floor number of students in each room is in the increasing order from left to right.

If in all 40 students live in the hostel building and the sum of the number of students in the middle two rooms of the top floor is 4 and that in the corner rooms of the ground floor is 5, then what is the number of students staying in room number 302?
