Why e? Can't we use base 10?
Lt=Lo (1-10^kt).
Lt=Lo (1-10^kt).

(BOD)5 = (BOD)u[1-e^-kt].
190 = (BOD)u[1-e^-0.01 * 120],
190 = (BOD)u * 0.70,
(BOD)u = 190/0.70 = 271.42~271.
Ans: C.
190 = (BOD)u[1-e^-0.01 * 120],
190 = (BOD)u * 0.70,
(BOD)u = 190/0.70 = 271.42~271.
Ans: C.

5-day bod is approximately 68% of the ultimate bod. So, 68%=190, so 100%= (190*100/68) =279.
So we can go with option c.
So we can go with option c.

(BOD)5 = BODu[1- (e^-kt)].
Here give k = 0.01/hour.
t = 5days = 120 hrs.
BOD5= 190mg/lt.
Substitute these values in above formula we will get answer as 272.32.
