Question 14 Marks
In a culture, the bacteria count is $1,00,000$. The number is increased by $10 \%$ in 2 hours. In how many hours will the count reach $2,00,000$, if the rate of growth of bacteria is proportional to the number present ?

View full question & answer→Suppose, Number of Bacteria at time $t$ is $p$.
Here, $\frac{d p}{d t} \propto p$
$\therefore \frac{d p}{d t}=k p(\text { where }, k>0)$
[If function is decreasing then Take $k<0$ ]
$\therefore \frac{d p}{p}=k d t$
$\rightarrow$ Integrate both the sides,
$\therefore \int \frac{d p}{p}=k \int 1 d t$
$\begin{array}{l}\therefore \log |p|=k t+c \ldots(1) \\ \rightarrow \text { Now, initially } t=0 \text { when } p=1,00,000 \\ \therefore \log |1,00,000|=0+c \\ \therefore c=\log |1,00,000|\end{array}$
$\rightarrow$ Put the value of $c$ in equation (1),
$\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \log |p|=k t+\log |1,00,000| \\
\therefore \log |p|-\log |1,00,000|=k t \\
\therefore \log \left|\frac{p}{1,00,000}\right|=k t \ldots(2)
\end{array}$
In 2 hr , Number of bacteria increases at the rate of $10 \%$.
$\begin{array}{l}
\rightarrow t=2 hr \Rightarrow p=1,00,000+(10 \% \text { of } 1,00,000) \\
\therefore p=1,00,000+1,00,000\left(\frac{10}{100}\right) \\
\therefore p=1,00,000+10,000 \\
\therefore p=1,10,000
\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \log \left|\frac{1,10,000}{1,00,000}\right|=2 k \\
\therefore 2 k=\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) \\
\therefore k=\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)
\end{array}$
$\rightarrow$ Put the value of $k$ in equation (2),
$\therefore \log \left|\frac{p}{1,00,000}\right|=\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) t$
$\rightarrow$ Now, $p=2,00,000$ then $t=$ ?
$\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \log \left|\frac{2,00,000}{1,00,000}\right|=\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) t \\
\therefore \log 2=\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) t \\
\therefore 2 \log 2=\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) t \\
\therefore t=\frac{2 \log 2}{\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)} \\
\therefore t=\frac{\log 4}{\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)} hr
\end{array}$
In $\frac{\log 4}{\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)} hr$ will the count reach $2,00,000$ bacteria.
Here, $\frac{d p}{d t} \propto p$
$\therefore \frac{d p}{d t}=k p(\text { where }, k>0)$
[If function is decreasing then Take $k<0$ ]
$\therefore \frac{d p}{p}=k d t$
$\rightarrow$ Integrate both the sides,
$\therefore \int \frac{d p}{p}=k \int 1 d t$
$\begin{array}{l}\therefore \log |p|=k t+c \ldots(1) \\ \rightarrow \text { Now, initially } t=0 \text { when } p=1,00,000 \\ \therefore \log |1,00,000|=0+c \\ \therefore c=\log |1,00,000|\end{array}$
$\rightarrow$ Put the value of $c$ in equation (1),
$\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \log |p|=k t+\log |1,00,000| \\
\therefore \log |p|-\log |1,00,000|=k t \\
\therefore \log \left|\frac{p}{1,00,000}\right|=k t \ldots(2)
\end{array}$
In 2 hr , Number of bacteria increases at the rate of $10 \%$.
$\begin{array}{l}
\rightarrow t=2 hr \Rightarrow p=1,00,000+(10 \% \text { of } 1,00,000) \\
\therefore p=1,00,000+1,00,000\left(\frac{10}{100}\right) \\
\therefore p=1,00,000+10,000 \\
\therefore p=1,10,000
\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \log \left|\frac{1,10,000}{1,00,000}\right|=2 k \\
\therefore 2 k=\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) \\
\therefore k=\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)
\end{array}$
$\rightarrow$ Put the value of $k$ in equation (2),
$\therefore \log \left|\frac{p}{1,00,000}\right|=\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) t$
$\rightarrow$ Now, $p=2,00,000$ then $t=$ ?
$\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \log \left|\frac{2,00,000}{1,00,000}\right|=\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) t \\
\therefore \log 2=\frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) t \\
\therefore 2 \log 2=\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) t \\
\therefore t=\frac{2 \log 2}{\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)} \\
\therefore t=\frac{\log 4}{\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)} hr
\end{array}$
In $\frac{\log 4}{\log \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)} hr$ will the count reach $2,00,000$ bacteria.
