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 lac, when will the city have population 5,00,000 ?

Solution :-

From the question it is given that,

The present population is 1,00,000

Then, the population of a city doubled in the past 25 years,

So, let us assume P be the surface area of balloon,

(\( \dfrac{dP}{dt}\)) ∝ P

Then,

\( \dfrac{dP}{dt}\)= λP

\( \dfrac{dP}{dt}\)= λ dt

Integrating on both side we get,

\( \dfrac{dP}{dt}\)= λ ∫dt

Log P = λt + c … [equation (i)]

From question, P = Po t when t = 0,

log (Po) = 0 + c

c = log (Po)

Then, equation (i) becomes,

log (P) = λt + log (Po)

log \( \dfrac{P}{P_o}\) = λt … [equation (ii)]

And also form question, given P = 2Po when t = 25

log\( \dfrac{2P_o}{2P_o}\) = 25λ

log 2 = 25λ

By cross multiplication we get,

λ =\(\dfrac{ log2}{25}\)

So, now equation (ii) becomes,

log \( \dfrac{P}{P_o}\) = (\( \dfrac{ log2}{25}\))t

let us assume that t1 be the time to become population 5,00,000 from 1,00,000,

Then, \( log \dfrac{5,00,000}{1,00,000}\) = (\( \dfrac{ log2}{25}\))t1

By cross multiplication we get,

t1 = \(\dfrac{ 25 log 5}{log 2}\)

= 25\(\dfrac{ (1.609)}{(0.6931)}\)

= 58

Therefore, the required time is 58 years.
