The rate at which the population of a city increases varies as the population present. Within the period of 30 years, the population grew from 20 lakhs to 40 lakhs. Then, the population after a further period of 15 years will be
\((\) Take \(\sqrt{2}=1.41)\)

  1. A 56 lakhs
  2. B 60 lakhs
  3. C 57.4 lakhs
  4. D 56.4 lakhs
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 56.4 lakhs

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{d p}{d t} \propto p \Rightarrow \frac{d p}{d t}=k p \Rightarrow \int \frac{d p}{p}=\int k d t \\ & \Rightarrow \log _e P=k t+C\end{aligned}\)
Putting \(\mathrm{t}=0\) year and \(\mathrm{p}=20\) lakhs
We get \(\mathrm{c}=\log _{\mathrm{e}} 20\)
\(\Rightarrow \log _e P=K t+\log _e 20\)
Again putting \(\mathrm{t}=30\) years and \(\mathrm{P}=40\) lakhs
\(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \log _e 40=K \times 30+\log _e 20 \\ & \Rightarrow K=\frac{\log _e 2}{30} \\ & \Rightarrow \log _e P=\frac{\log _e 2}{30} t \log _e 20\end{aligned}\)
Putting \(\mathrm{t}=45\) years
We get \(\log _e p=\frac{\log _e 2}{30} \times 45+\log _e 20\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \log _e P=\frac{3}{2} \log _e 2+\log _e 20 \\ & \Rightarrow \log _e P=\log _e 2 \frac{3}{2} \times 20 \\ & \Rightarrow P=2 \sqrt{2} \times 20 \text { lakhs }\end{aligned}\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}=2 \times 1.41 \times 20\) lakhs
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}=56.4\) lakhs
