A kind of bacteria grows by \(t^3\) in \(t \mathrm{~s}\). Time taken for the rate of growth of the bacteria to become 1200 per \(s\) is
- \(10 \mathrm{~s}\)
- \(20 \mathrm{~s}\)
- \(40 \mathrm{~s}\)
- \(400 \mathrm{~s}\)
Solution
Given,
\(\frac{d N}{d t}=t^3,\)
When, rate of growth is 1200 we have,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{d}{d t}\left(\frac{d N}{d t}\right)=1200 \Rightarrow \frac{d}{d t} t^3=1200 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 3 t^2=1200 \Rightarrow t^2=400 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad t=20 \mathrm{sec} \\
\end{aligned}\)
