The rate of growth of population is proportional to the number present. If the population doubled in the last 25 years and the present population is 1,00,000, when will the city have population 4,00,000?
Let ‘p’ be the population at time ‘t’ years.
∴ `("dp")/"dt" prop "p"`
∴ Differential equation can be written as `("dp")/"dt" = "kp"`
where k is constant of proportionality.
∴ `("dp")/"p" = "k.dt"`
On integrating we get
`square` = kt + c ...(i)
(i) Where t = 0, p = 1,00,000
∴ from (i)
log 1,00,000 = k(0) + c
∴ c = `square`
∴ log `("p"/(1,00,000)) = "kt"` ...(ii)
(ii) When t = 25, p = 2,00,000
as population doubles in 25 years
∴ from (ii) log2 = 25k
∴ k = `square`
∴ log`("p"/(1,00,000)) = (1/25log2).t`
(iii) ∴ when p = 4,00,000
`log ((4,00,000)/(1,00,000)) = (1/25log2).t`
∴ `log 4 = (1/25 log2).t`
∴ t = `square ` years

Let ‘p’ be the population at time ‘t’ years.
∴ `("dp")/"dt" prop "p"`
∴ Differential equation can be written as `("dp")/"dt" = "kp"`
where k is constant of proportionality.
∴ `("dp")/"p" = "k.dt"`
On integrating, we get
log p = kt + c ...(i)
(i) Where t = 0, p = 1,00,000
∴ from (i)
log 1,00,000 = k(0) + c
∴ c = log 1,00,000
∴ log `("p"/(1,00,000)) = "kt"` ...(ii)
(ii) When t = 25, p = 2,00,000
as population doubles in 25 years
∴ from (ii) log2 = 25k
∴ k = `bb(1/25 log2)`
∴ log`("p"/(1,00,000)) = (1/25log2).t`
(iii) ∴ when p = 4,00,000
`log ((4,00,000)/(1,00,000)) = (1/25log2).t`
∴ `log 4 = (1/25 log2).t`
∴ t = 50 years
