Due to wars in the neighboring countries the number of inhabitants of a city grows exponentially. On January 1st , the number of inhabitants is 10 000 and three months later, on April 1st, this number of inhabitants equals 15 000. Per day each person in this city needs 8 Euros for fresh food. There is a maximum of 200 000 Euros for fresh food that can be delivered daily. According to this model a shortage of fresh food will arise when?

Options:

a) May

b) June

c) July

d) August

Answer 1

When each person requires 8 Euros for fresh food while maximum of 200,000 Euros can be delivered daily.

So, Maximum Population that can be fed per day = 200,000 ÷ 8 = 25,000

So, When Population exceeds 25,000 then there will be shortage of fresh food.

So, Option d) August is correct
