On separating the varable, we get \(\frac{d \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{1}{20} d t\).
On integrating we get \(\int \frac{d P}{P}=\int \frac{1}{20} d t\) ⇒ log |p| = \(\frac{1}{20}\)t + c
When t = 0, P = 1000 (initialy), this log 1000 = C
Put the value of C in Eq. (i), we get log | P |= \(\frac{1}{20}\)t + log 1000
