SOLN :
It is given that the population growth follows the exponential model,
....................
where P is the population at time t (in years)
is the initial population
k is the growth rate
t is the time measured in years
So in 1950 let the population be
In 1987 let the population be
Now it is given that , that it the population doubled.
Hence the expression becomes
then,
here t = 1987 - 1950 = 37years
then,
