If the population grows at the rate of 8 % per year, then the time taken for the population to be doubled, is (Given 2=0 6912 )
Options
- A6 8 years
- B10 27 years
- C8 64 years
- D4 3 years
Correct answer
C. 8 64 years
Step-by-step solution
(D) P ₀ be the initial population and let the population after t years be 2 P ₀ . then, aligned dP dt &= 8 P 100 dP dt = 2 P 25 dP P &= 2 25 dt 1 P dP = 2 25 dt aligned P= 2 25 t+C ...(1) At, t=0, P=P₀ P₀= 2 0 25 +C C= P₀ P= 2 25 t+ P₀ P P₀ = 2 25 t t= 25 2 ( P P₀ ) When P=2 P₀t= 25 2 ( 2 P₀ P₀ )= 25 2 2=8.64
