प्रश्न

A photograph of a bacteria enlarged 50,000 times attains a length of 5 cm as shown in the diagram. What is the actual length of the bacteria? If the photograph is enlarged 20,000 times only, what would be its enlarged length?

योग

उत्तर

Let the photograph of the bacteria be magnified 20,000 times, then the magnified length = x, ratio of the both

The given information, in the form of a table, is as follows:

Therefore, we obtain

Then 550000 = `x/(20,000)`

on multiplying thunderbolts

Length of bacteria (in cm) 5 x
Bacteria enlarged 50,000 20,000

50000 × x = 20000 × 5

`x = (20,000 × 5)/(50,000)`

x = 2

Hence, magnified length of bacteria = 2 cm
