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` minutesA. `175xx10^(5)` cellsB. `85xx10^(5)` cellsC. `35xx10^(5)` cellsD. `32xx10^(5)` cells

Answer» Correct Answer - d
As we know that bacterium divides after every `35` minutes through simple mitotic division therefore number of divisions are `175/35=5`
Since one bacterium on division produces two cells so cell cencentration after `175` minutes will be
`=10^(5)xx(2)^(5)" "=32xx10^(5)`.
