One bacterium splits into eight bacteria of the next generation. But due to environmental condition only 50% survives and remaining 50% dies after producing next generation. If the seventh generation number is 4,096 million, what is the number in first generation?
a. 1 million
b. 2 million
c. 4 million
d. 8 millionlet's say x is the initial number of bacterias:
So in 2nd generation no. of bacterias == 4
In 3rd generation, it will be = 16x
4th gen = 64x
5th gen. = 256x
6th gen. = 1024x
7th gen. = 4096x
Hence x = 1 millionWrite Here
