A bacterial infection in an internal wound grows as `N'(t) = N_(0) exp (t)`, where the time t is in hours.A dose of antibiotic, taken orally, needs 1 hour to reach the wound. Once it reaches there, the bacterial population goes down as `(dN)/(dt)= -5 N^(2)`. What will be the plot of `N_(0)/N` vs. t after 1 hour?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
After injecting drug `N_((t))` will decrease so `(N_(0))/(N)` will increase.
