Initial size of leaf A is 10cm2 while that of B is 15cm2. They have grown by 5cm2 in one day. Relative rate of growth is
Faster in leaf A
Faster in leaf B
Slower in leaf A
Same in both leaf in A and B
Two leaves A and B have grown by 5 cm sq. Initial size of leaf A was 10 cm sq. while that of leaf B is 15 cm sq. Though their absolute growth rate is the same, relative growth rate is faster in leaf A because of small size of leaf A.
Growth rates | Leaf A | Leaf B |
Absolute growth rate | 5 cm2 |
5 cm2 |
Relative growth rate | 100% | 10% |
Hence the correct option is a.
