Let the number of bacteria at a given times 't' be N
Then,
dNdt=kN where k is the proportionality constant.
dNN=kdt
∫NN0dNN=∫t0kdt
ln(NN0)=kt
N=N0ekt ...(i)
If N0=105 and t=2hours and
N=(1+10100)×105
=1.1×105
Hence
lnNN0=kt
ln(1.1×105105)=2k
ln(1.1)=2k
k=12ln(1.1)hours−1
=ln(√1.1)hours−1
Now
ln(NN0)=kt
N is now 2×105
Hence
NN0
=2×105105
=2
Thus
ln(NN0)=kt implies
ln2=ln√1.1t
ln2=ln(1.1)2t
2ln2=ln(1.1)t
t=ln4ln(1.1)
=14.54 hours
