The rate of growth of bacteria in a culture is proportional to the number of bacteria present and the bacteria count is $1000$ at initial time $t = 0$. The number of bacteria is increased by $20\%$ in $2$ hours. If the population of bacteria is $2000$ after $\frac{k}{\log_{e}\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)}$ hours,then $\left(\frac{k}{\log_{e} 2}\right)^{2}$ is equal to

Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount present. If half the original amount disappears in $1600$ years,then the percentage loss in $100$ years is (Given $\log 2 = 0.6931$ and $e^{-0.0433} = 0.9576$) (in $\%$)

The assets of a person are reduced in his business such that the rate of reduction is proportional to the square root of the existing assets.
