The correct answer is:
$40 \sqrt{2}$ lakh
We have $\frac{\mathrm{dP}}{\mathrm{dt}} \propto \mathrm{P} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{dP}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{kP}$
$$
\therefore \int \frac{\mathrm{dP}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\int \mathrm{k} d t \Rightarrow \log \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{kt}+\mathrm{c}
$$
From given data, we write
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \log 20=\mathrm{k}(0)+\mathrm{c} \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=\log 20 \\
& \therefore \log \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{kt}+\log 20 \\
& \text { Also } \log 40=30 \mathrm{k}+\log 20 \\
& \therefore \log 40-\log 20=30 \mathrm{k} \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=\frac{1}{30} \log 2 \\
& \therefore \log \mathrm{P}=\left(\frac{\log 2}{30}\right) \mathrm{t}+\log 20 \\
& \text { When } \mathrm{t}=30+15=45 \\
& \therefore \log \mathrm{P}=\left(\frac{\log 2}{30}\right)(45)+\log 20=(\log 2)\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)+\log 20 \\
& =\log (2)^{\frac{3}{2}}+\log 20=\log (2 \sqrt{2} \times 20) \\
& \therefore \mathrm{P}=40 \sqrt{2} \text { lakhs }
\end{aligned}
