JNU SSS 2013 Question 70: Limits, continuity and differentiability

Populations of two species AAA and BBB at time 0 are equal. If the instantaneous rates of growth of populations of species AAA and BBB are uuu and u+1u + 1u+1 respectively, u>0u > 0u>0; then at time 1 the population of species BBB would be

Plain-text version

Populations of two species A and B at time 0 are equal. If the instantaneous rates of growth of populations of species A and B are u and u + 1 respectively, u > 0; then at time 1 the population of species B would be (A) twice the population of species A (B) log 10 times of the population of species A (C) e^u times the population of species A (D) e times the population of species A
