Exponentially growing cells increase 10 fold in 10 hours, the time required to increase 5 fold will be ………hours
In aptitude and reasoning, quantitative reasoning dictates that ratio, percentage and series logic determine correct calculation. Therefore 10 log5 is correct as it meets mathematical and logical criteria, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
Ref: Agrawal, Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations, Chapter 5, Logical Reasoning and Probability, covers ratios, percentages, series completion, time-distance and analytical reasoning explaining problem-solving strategies for competitive assessments.
