Application of Derivatives question

2022 · 30 Jun · Shift 1 · Q38

JEE MainMathematicsApplication of DerivativesNumerical+4 / −1
A hostel has 100 students. On a certain day (consider it day zero) it was found that two students are infected with some virus. Assume that the rate at which the virus spreads is directly proportional to the product of the number of infected students and the number of non-infected students. If the number of infected students on 4th day is 30, then number of infected students on 8th day will be ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 90

  1. Let the number of infected students after ttt days be x(t)x(t)x(t).

    Total students =100=100=100, so non-infected students =100−x=100-x=100−x.

    Given rate of spread is directly proportional to the product of infected and non-infected students: dxdt=k x(100−x)\frac{dx}{dt}=k\,x(100-x)dtdx​=kx(100−x) where k>0k>0k>0 is a constant.

  2. Separate variables and integrate.

    dxx(100−x)=k dt\frac{dx}{x(100-x)}=k\,dtx(100−x)dx​=kdt

    Using partial fractions, 1x(100−x)=1100(1x+1100−x)\frac{1}{x(100-x)}=\frac{1}{100}\left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{100-x}\right)x(100−x)1​=1001​(x1​+100−x1​)

    So, ∫dxx(100−x)=1100∫(1x+1100−x)dx\int \frac{dx}{x(100-x)}=\frac{1}{100}\int \left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{100-x}\right)dx∫x(100−x)dx​=1001​∫(x1​+100−x1​)dx

    Hence, 1100(ln⁡x−ln⁡(100−x))=kt+C\frac{1}{100}\left(\ln x-\ln(100-x)\right)=kt+C1001​(lnx−ln(100−x))=kt+C

    or ln⁡(x100−x)=100kt+C1\ln\left(\frac{x}{100-x}\right)=100kt+C_1ln(100−xx​)=100kt+C1​

    Therefore, x100−x=Ae100kt\frac{x}{100-x}=Ae^{100kt}100−xx​=Ae100kt for some constant AAA.

  3. Use initial condition x(0)=2x(0)=2x(0)=2.

    2100−2=A\frac{2}{100-2}=A100−22​=A A=298=149A=\frac{2}{98}=\frac{1}{49}A=982​=491​

    So, x100−x=149e100kt\frac{x}{100-x}=\frac{1}{49}e^{100kt}100−xx​=491​e100kt

  4. Use the condition x(4)=30x(4)=30x(4)=30.

    3070=149e400k\frac{30}{70}=\frac{1}{49}e^{400k}7030​=491​e400k 37=149e400k\frac{3}{7}=\frac{1}{49}e^{400k}73​=491​e400k e400k=49⋅37=21e^{400k}=49\cdot \frac{3}{7}=21e400k=49⋅73​=21

  5. Find x(8)x(8)x(8).

    x(8)100−x(8)=149e800k\frac{x(8)}{100-x(8)}=\frac{1}{49}e^{800k}100−x(8)x(8)​=491​e800k

    Since e400k=21e^{400k}=21e400k=21, e800k=212=441e^{800k}=21^2=441e800k=212=441

    Thus, x(8)100−x(8)=44149=9\frac{x(8)}{100-x(8)}=\frac{441}{49}=9100−x(8)x(8)​=49441​=9

    So, x(8)=9(100−x(8))x(8)=9(100-x(8))x(8)=9(100−x(8)) x(8)=900−9x(8)x(8)=900-9x(8)x(8)=900−9x(8) 10x(8)=90010x(8)=90010x(8)=900 x(8)=90x(8)=90x(8)=90

  6. Final Answer

    Number of infected students on the 8th day is: 90\boxed{90}90​
