at 4 pm bacteria was 400 and they are growing exponentially so after 2 hours at 6 pm they are 3600 so after 1 hour
at 5 pm they are 400*3 = 1200
and after 6 pm they are 1200*3 = 3600
so after 1 hour at 7pm they are 3600*3 = 108000

ans is 10800
growing exponentially.
so by shortcut it is 3600/400=9.
9 ans for gap of 2 hours which is exponentially increase so it may b 3,3^2,3^3..
so after 3 hours means at 7pm its 400*3^3=10800...
or by logically thinking ...
So at 4p.m.it is 400...and at 5 p.m it is 400*3=1200, and at 6p.m it is 1200*3=3600, and at 7p.m.it should be 3600*3=10800
