उत्तर

Let the number of bacteria initially = P

And number of bacteria at the end of 2 hours = A

Given initial number of bacteria (P) = 5,06,000

Time (n) = 2 years

Rate (R) = 2.5% p.a.

Number of bacteria at the end of 2 hours

(A) = P `(1+"R"/100)^"n"`

= 5,06,000 `(1+2.5/100)^2`

= 5,06,000 `(1+1/40)^2`

= 5,06,000 `(41/40)^2`

= 5,31,616.25

Hence, number of bacteria at the end of 2 hours (A) = 5,31,616.25
