Question

A cell divides every one minute at this rate of division it can fill a beaker of 100 ml in 1 hour. How much time does it take to fill 50 ml of beaker

Answer 1

Answer:

Right Answer will be 59 mins. Because, cell divides means, cell doubles itself in every 1 min , according to question. Now, if 100 ml beaker is filled in 1hr or 60 mins, i.e, beaker is full completely with cells.

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{Answer}$

The question is based on understanding that we are talking about dividing cells. Each cell will keep on dividing. It is given that each cell will divide in one minute. Thus, if the beaker is completely filled in 60 mins that mean at 59 mins it was exactly half filled and then in the next minute, all the cells that were present in exactly half filled beaker divided and completely filled the beaker in 60 minutes.
