Question

Answer 1

Answer:

10 lakh 45 thousand maybe

Step-by-step explanation:

the initial count of bacteria is 10 lakh and the rate of fission is 15,000/hr

so in first hour it will give rise to 15000 bacteria

these bacteria in second hour undergo fisson and hence one bacterium will produce two daughter bacteria i.e 15000×2=30,000

total bacteria produced in 2hrs = 15000+30000= 45000

so final count will be 10 lakh 45 thousand
