Qanda teacher - Ashritha
Initial concentration of untreated or polluted water water = 5 mg per litre
Pollutants reduce by 10% every hour
Pollutants remaining after an hour would be = (100-10)/100 x 5
Pollutants remaining after an hour would be = (0.9) x 5 = 4.5
Pollutants remaining after two hours would be = 0.9 x (0.9) x 5
Pollutants remaining after nth hour of treatment would be = 0.9^n x 5
