    The population p(t) at time t of a certain mouse species satisfies the differential equation\[\frac{dp(t)}{dt}=0.5\,p(t)-450\]If \[p(0)=850\], then the time at which the population becomes zero is :   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2012

    A) \[2\,\ell n18\]                                      

    B) \[\ell n\,9\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{2}\ell n\,18\]                    

    D) \[\ell n\,18\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                 \[2\frac{dp(t)}{900-p(t)}=-dt\] \[-2\ell n(900-p(t))=-t+c\] when \[t=0,p(0)=850\] \[-2\ell n(50)=c\] \[\therefore \]     \[2\ell n\left( \frac{50}{900-p(t)} \right)=-t\] \[900-p(t)=50\,\,{{e}^{t/2}}\] \[p(t)=900-50\,\,{{e}^{t/2}}\] let \[p({{t}_{1}})=0\] \[0=900-50\,\,{{e}^{\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{2}}}\] \[\therefore \]     \[{{t}_{1}}=2\ell n\,\,18\]
