उत्तर

Let the photograph of the bacteria be magnified 20,000 times, then the magnified length = x, ratio of the both

The given information, in the form of a table, is as follows:

Therefore, we obtain

Then 550000 = `x/(20,000)`

on multiplying thunderbolts

Length of bacteria (in cm) 5 x
Bacteria enlarged 50,000 20,000

50000 × x = 20000 × 5

`x = (20,000 × 5)/(50,000)`

x = 2

Hence, magnified length of bacteria = 2 cm
