A species has an initial population

4^{10}

. At the end of first day, the population increases by

50 \%

. At the end of second day, it decreases by the same percentage. If the process continues in the same pattern, the number of days for the population to reach

3^{10}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Option B (20) is correct because after 20 days, with alternating 50% increases and decreases, the population reaches 3¹⁰.

, then find the following
(i)

{A} \cup({B} \cap {C})

A-(B \cap C)

(iii)

(B \cup C)-A

a,b,c

are in A.P.;

a,x,b

are in G.P. and

b,y,c

are in G.P., then

{x^2},{b^2},{y^2}

are in Suppose

P(x)=1-x+x^2-x^3+\ldots+x^{2012}

is expressed as a polynomial in

y

, as

Q(y)=a_0+a_1 y+\ldots+a_{2012} y^{2012}

where

y=x-2

, then

\sum\limits_{{i=0}}^{2012} a_i

equals If

\log \left(\frac{5 c}{a}\right), \log \left(\frac{3 b}{5 c}\right)

and

\log \left(\frac{a}{3 b}\right)

are in

A P

, where

a, b

and c are in

G P

, then

a, b, c

are the lengths of sides of If the sum of three numbers in G.P. is 63 and the product of the first and the second term is

\frac{3}{4}

of the third term, then the numbers are If the lengths of sides of a right angled triangle are in A.P., then their ratio is
