Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is attached here
The rate of increase of bacterial population be K
As we know
where Y is the final population. In this case it is 1000
K is the rate of increase of population i.e 3 times per hour
T is the time in hours
Y0 is the initial population = 5
Substituting the given values, we get -
Taking log on both sides, we get -
ln = ln
T = 2.084 hours
hence, option A is correct
