Solution

The correct option is D $32$
It is well known that the time required to complete one division for a yeast is approximately 90 minutes.
Total number of minutes in 2 days = 2 x 60 x 24 = 28,80 minutes.
In 90 mins no. of divsion = 1
In 28,800 mins no. of division possible = 1 x 28,80 / 90
=32 divisions.
So, the correct answer is '32'.
