5. Mathematics
Q: Population growth problem
A: Model:
dP/dt = kP
Solution:
P = 500 eᵏᵗ
Given:
e¹⁰ᵏ = 1.15 → k = ln(1.15)/10
After 30 years:
P = 500(1.15)³ ≈ 760
Growth rate at t=30:
dP/dt = kP

In an examination, 80% of candidates passed English and 85% of candidates passed in Mathematics. If 73% candidates passed in both these subjects, then what percent of candidates failed in both the subjects?
Answer: 8%
Solution:
Use the formula for union of two sets:
Percent passed at least one subject = %English + %Math – %both = 80 + 85 – 73 = 92%.
Percent failed in both subjects = 100 – 92 = 8%.
So the correct answer is 8%.
