An ice ball melts at the rate which is proportional to the amount of ice at that instant. Half of the quantity of ice melts in 15 minutes. \(x_0\) is the initial quantity of ice. If after 30 minutes the amount of ice left is \(k x_0\), then the value of \(k\) is
- A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
- B \(\frac{1}{3}\)
- C \(\frac{1}{4}\)
- D \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given that half of the ice melts in 15 minutes.
\(\therefore \quad\) In 30 minutes, \(\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) of the ice will melt.
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{k}=\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) In 30 minutes, \(\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) of the ice will melt.
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{k}=\frac{1}{4}\)
