    A bacterium divides every 35 minutes. If a culture containing \[{{10}^{5}}\,cells/ml\]is grown for 175 minutes. What will be the cell concentration / ml after 175 minutes  [CBSE PMT 1998; BHU 2004]

    A)            \[175\times {{10}^{5}}\,cells\]   

    B)            \[85\times {{10}^{5}}\,cells\]

    C)            \[35\times {{10}^{5}}\,cells\]     

    D)          \[32\times {{10}^{5}}\,cells\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                 As we know that bacterium divides after every 35 minutes through simple mitotic division therefore number of divisions are \[\frac{175}{35}=5\] Since one bacterium on division produces two cells so cell concentration after 175 minutes will be \[={{10}^{5}}\times {{(2)}^{5}}\]    \[=32\times {{10}^{5}}\]
