A bacterial colony grows via cell division where each mother bacterium independently produces two daughter cells in 20 minutes. If the concentration of bacteria is 10⁴ cm⁻³, the colony becomes harmful. Starting from a colony with an initial concentration of 5 cm⁻³, the time taken (in minutes) for the colony to become harmful is (Round off to nearest integer)
