Expert Solution
Step 1

Let Total population be N. number of people P who heard the rumor is directly proportional to product of P and N-P.

Initially 25% have heard the rumor and after one week 50% of population have heard the rumor.

To Find: What percentage of population will heard the rumor after two weeks.
