JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 9. differential equations

Let the population ofrabbits surviving at time \(t\) be governed by the differential equation \(\frac{{dp\left( t \right)}}{{dt}} = \frac{1}{2}p\left( t \right) - 200\) . If  \( p(0)=100 \) ,then \(p(t)\) equals :

  1. A \(600 - 500{e^{\frac{t}{2}}}\;\)
  2. B \(\;400 + 300{e^{\frac{t}{2}}}\)
  3. C \(\;400 - 300{e^{\frac{t}{2}}}\)
  4. D \(\;300 - 200{e^{\frac{t}{2}}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\;400 - 300{e^{\frac{t}{2}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\int \frac{2 d p(t)}{p(t)-400}=\int d t\) \(2 \log |p(t)-400|=t+c \quad \ldots(1)\) \(t=0, p=100\) \(2 \log (300)=c\) From ( 1) \(2 \log |p(t)-400|=t+2 \log (300)\) \(|p(t)-400|=e^{t / 2} \cdot e^{\log (300)}\) \(\boxed{p(t) = 400 - {e^{t/2}}(300)}\)
