Hi there!

The question describes that,
Every 35 minutes it divides, so for 175 minutes it will divide 75/35 = [ 5 times ]

It will be = $2^5$ = 32

As culture contains $10^5$ cells initially... ! ! !

Thus,
after 175 minutes total Cell Concentration will be 32 × $10^5$

[ Thank you! for asking the question. ]
Hope it helps!
