An ice ball melts at a rate proportional to the amount of ice present at that instant. Half the quantity of ice melts in $20 \text{ minutes}$. Let $x_0$ be the initial quantity of ice. If after $40 \text{ minutes}$ the amount of ice left is $Kx_0$,then $K=$

The microorganisms double themselves in $3$ hours. Assuming that the quantity increases at a rate proportional to itself,then the number of times it multiplies itself in $18$ hours is:

Verify that the function $y=c_{1} e^{a x} \cos b x+c_{2} e^{a x} \sin b x,$ where $c_{1}, c_{2}$ are arbitrary constants,is a solution of the differential equation $\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}-2 a \frac{d y}{d x}+\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right) y=0$.

$A$ spherical rain drop evaporates at a rate proportional to its surface area. The differential equation corresponding to the rate of change of the radius of the rain drop,if the constant of proportionality is $K > 0$,is

The rate at which the population of a city increases varies as the population present. Within the period of $30$ years,the population grew from $20$ lakhs to $40$ lakhs. Then,the population after a further period of $15$ years will be (Take $\sqrt{2} = 1.41$) (in $lakhs$)

The population of towns $A$ and $B$ increases at a rate proportional to their population present at that time. At the end of the year $1984$,the population of both the towns was $20,000$. At the end of the year $1989$,the population of town $A$ was $25,000$ and that of town $B$ was $28,000$. The difference of populations of towns $A$ and $B$ at the end of $1994$ was
