NEET Botany Phases of Growth MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

If a plant's root length grows from 5 cm to 25 cm in 10 days, and this growth follows an arithmetic pattern, what is the growth rate (r) per day?

A

2 cm/day

B

4 cm/day

C

1 cm/day

D

5 cm/day

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In arithmetic growth, the formula L_t = L_0 + rt is used. With L_t = 25 cm, L_0 = 5 cm, and t = 10 days, substituting these values gives 25 = 5 + 10r. Solving for r gives r = 2 cm/day.
