Q.

A country has a food deficit of 10%. Its population grows continuously at a rate of 3% per year. Its annual food production every year is 4% more than that of the year. Assuming that the average food requirement per person remains constant, then the country will become self-sufficient in food after n years, where n is the smallest integer bigger than or equal to  logealogeb(logecd)0.03 where the  a,b,c,dN and  (a,b) are coprime,  (c,d) are coprime then:

Let  P0 be the initial population  Q0 be its initial food production.
Let P be the population of the country in year t and Q be its food production in year t.
 dPdt=3P100  or  dPP=3100dt
Integrating, we get  log  P=3100t+C
At  t=0, we have  P=P0
C=logP0 
P=P0e0.03t ......(i)
It is given that the annual food production every year is 4% more than that of last year.
 Q=Q0(1+4100)t
Let the average consumption per person be k units.
 Q0=kP0(99100)=0.9kP0
Q=0.9kP0(1.04)t .....(ii)
This gives quantity of food available in year t. The population in year t is,
P=P0e0.03t  [from Eq. (i)]
 Consumption in year,  t=kP0e0.03t .........(iii)
The country will be self sufficient, if  Q>_P
0.9k  P0(1.04)t>_kP0e0.03t  910(1.04)t>_e0.03t        (1.04)te0.03t>_109   t  log(1.04)0.03t>_log(109)         t{10g(1.04)0.03}>_log(109)t>_log10log9log(1.04)0.03

Thus, the least number of year in which country becomes self sufficient.

t=log10log9log(1.04)0.03
