    The carrying capacity of environment for a given population can be represented by the following equation

    A)  \[dN=rN-\frac{N}{K}\] 

    B)  \[\frac{dN}{dt}=rN-\frac{N}{K}\]

    C)  \[\frac{dN}{dt}=rN-\frac{1}{K}\]             

    D)  \[\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\,\,\left( 1-\frac{N}{K} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The correct equation is \[\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\,\,\left( 1-\frac{N}{K} \right)\]where, r = Intrinsic rate of increase of biotic potential N = Number of individuals in the population t = time d = conventional mathematical symbol for instantaneous change K = carrying capacity
