Question

The rate of growth of the population of a city at any time t is proportional to the size of the population. For a certain city, it is found that the constant of proportionality is 0.04. Find the population of the city after 25 years, if the initial population is 10,000. [Take e = 2.7182]

Solution

Let P be the population of the city at time t.

Then the rate of growth of population is `"dP"/"dt"` which is proportional to P.

∴ `"dP"/"dt" prop "P"`

∴ `"dP"/"dt"` = kP, where k = 0.04

∴ `"dP"/"dt" = (0.04)"P"`

∴ `1/"P" "dP" = (0.04) "dt"`

On integrating, we get

`int 1/"P" "dP" = (0.04) int "dt" + "c"`

∴ log P = (0.04)t +c

Initially, i.e., when t = 0, P = 10000

∴ log 10000 = (0.04) × 0 + c

∴ c = log 10000

∴ log P = (0.04) t + log 10000

∴ log P - log 10000 = (0.04) t

∴ log `("P"/10000) = (0.04) "t"`

When t = 25, then

log `("P"/10000) = (0.04) xx 25 = 1`

∴ log `("P"/10000)` = log e      ....[∵ log e = 1]

∴ `"P"/10000 = "e" = 2.7182`

∴ P = 2.7182 × 10000 = 27182

∴ the population of the city after 25 years will be 27,182.

The rate of growth of population is proportional to the number present. If the population doubled in the last 25 years and present population is 1 lac., when will the city have population 4,00,000?

Solution: Let p be the population at time t. 

Then the rate of increase of p is `"dp"/"dt"` which is proportional to p.

∴ `"dp"/"dt" ∝ "p"`

∴ `"dp"/"dt"` = kp, where k is a constant

∴ `"dp"/"p"` = kdt

On integrating, we get

`int "dp"/"p" = "k"int "dt"`

∴ log p = kt + c

Initially, i.e., when t = 0, let p = 100000

∴ log 100000 = k × 0 + c

∴ c = `square`

∴ log p = kt + log 100000

∴ log p – log 100000 = kt

∴ `log ("P"/100000)` = kt  ......(i)

Since the number doubled in 25 years, i.e., when t = 25, p = 200000

∴ `log (200000/100000)` = 25k

∴ k = `square`

∴ equation (i) becomes, `log("p"/100000) = square`

When p = 400000, then find t.

∴ `log(400000/100000) = "t"/25 log 2`

∴ `log 4 = "t"/25 log 2`

∴ t = `25 (log 4)/(log 2)`

∴ t = `square` years


Bacteria increases at the rate proportional to the number of bacteria present. If the original number N doubles in 4 hours, find in how many hours the number of bacteria will be 16N.

Solution: Let x be the number of bacteria in the culture at time t.

Then the rate of increase of x is `("d"x)/"dt"` which is proportional to x.

∴ `("d"x)/"dt" ∝ x`

∴ `("d"x)/"dt"` = kx, where k is a constant

∴ `("d"x)/x` = kdt

On integrating, we get

`int ("d"x)/x = "k" int "dt"`

∴ log x = kt + c    .....(1)

∴ x = aekt where a = e

Initially, i.e.,when t = 0, let x = N

∴ N = aek(0)

∴ a = `square`

∴ a = N, x = Nekt    ......(2)

When t = 4, x = 2N

From equation (2), 2N = Ne4k

∴ e4k = 2

∴  e= `square`

Now we have to find out t, when x = 16N

From equation (2),

16N = Nekt 

∴ 16 = ekt 

∴ `"t"/4 = square` hours

Hence, number of bacteria will be 16N in `square` hours


The population of city doubles in 80 years, in how many years will it be triple when the rate of increase is proportional to the number of inhabitants. `("Given" log3/log2 = 1.5894)`

Solution: Let p be the population at time t.

Then the rate of increase of p is `"dp"/"dt"` which is proportional to p.

∴ `"dp"/"dt"  ∝  "p"`

∴ `"dp"/"dt"` = kp, where k is a constant

∴ `"dp"/"p"` = kdt

On integrating, we get

`int "dp"/"p" = "k" int "dt"`

∴ log p = kt + c

Initially, i.e., when t = 0, let p = N

∴ log N = k × 0 + c

∴ c = `square`

When t = 80, p = 2N

∴ log 2N = 80k + log N

∴ log 2N – log N = 80k

∴ `log ((2"N")/"N")` = 80k

∴ log (2) = 80k

∴ k = `square`

∴ p = 3N, then t = ?

∴ log p = `log2/80  "t" + log "N"`

∴ log 3N – log N = `square`

∴ t = `square` = `square` years

The rate of disintegration of a radioactive element at time t is proportional to its mass at that time. The original mass of 800 gm will disintegrate into its mass of 400 gm after 5 days. Find the mass remaining after 30 days.

Solution: If x is the amount of material present at time t then `dx/dt = square`, where k is constant of proportionality.

`int dx/x = square + c` 

∴ logx = `square`

x = `square` = `square`.ec

∴ x = `square`.a where a = ec

At t = 0, x = 800

∴ a = `square`

At t = 5, x = 400

∴ e–5k = `square`

Now when t = 30 

x = `square` × `square` = 800 × (e–5k)6 = 800 × `square` = `square`.

The mass remaining after 30 days will be `square` mg.


In a certain culture of bacteria, the rate of increase is proportional to the number present. If it is found that the number doubles in 4 hours, find the number of times the bacteria are increased in 12 hours.

Solution:

Let N be the number of bacteria present at time ‘t’.

Since the rate of increase of N is proportional to N, the differential equation can be written as –

`(dN)/dt αN`

∴ `(dN)/dt` = KN, where K is constant of proportionality

∴ `(dN)/N` = k . dt

∴ `int 1/N dN = K int 1 . dt`

∴ log N = `square` + C   ...(1)

When t = 0, N = N0 where N0 is initial number of bacteria.

∴ log N0 = K × 0 + C

∴ C = log N0

Also when t = 4, N = 2N0

∴ log (2 N0) = K . 4 + `square`   ...[From (1)]

∴ `log((2N_0)/N_0)` = 4K,

∴ log 2 = 4K

∴ K = `square`   ...(2)

Now N = ? when t = 12

From (1) and (2)

log N = `1/4 log 2  . (12) + log N_0`

log N – log N0 = 3 log 2

∴ `log(N_0/N_0)` = `square`

∴ N = 8 N0

∴ Bacteria are increased 8 times in 12 hours.
