Let the population of rabbits surviving at time $$t$$ be governed by the differential equation $${{dp\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = {1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200.$$ If $$p(0)=100,$$ then $$p(t)$$ equals:
$$600 - 500\,{e^{t/2}}$$
$$400 - 300\,{e^{-t/2}}$$
$$400 - 300\,{e^{t/2}}$$
$$300 - 200\,{e^{-t/2}}$$
Explanation
Given differential equation is
$${{dp\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = {1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200$$
By separating the variable, we get
$$dp\left( t \right) = \left[ {{1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200} \right]dt$$
$$ \Rightarrow {{dp\left( t \right)} \over {{1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200}} = dt$$
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Integrating on both the sides,
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\int {{{d\left( {p\left( t \right)} \right)} \over {{1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200}}} = \int {dt} $$
Let $${1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200 = s \Rightarrow {{dp\left( t \right)} \over 2} = ds$$
So, $$\int {{{d\,p\left( t \right)} \over {\left( {{1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200} \right)}}} = \int {dt} $$
$$ \Rightarrow \int {{{2ds} \over s} = \int {dt} } \Rightarrow 2\log s = t + c$$
$$ \Rightarrow 2\log \left( {{{p\left( t \right)} \over 2} - 200} \right) = t + c$$
$$ \Rightarrow {{p\left( t \right)} \over 2} - 200 = {e^{{1 \over 2}}}k$$
Using given condition $$p\left( t \right) = 400 - 300{e^{t/2}}$$
$${{dp\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = {1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200$$
By separating the variable, we get
$$dp\left( t \right) = \left[ {{1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200} \right]dt$$
$$ \Rightarrow {{dp\left( t \right)} \over {{1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200}} = dt$$
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Integrating on both the sides,
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\int {{{d\left( {p\left( t \right)} \right)} \over {{1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200}}} = \int {dt} $$
Let $${1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200 = s \Rightarrow {{dp\left( t \right)} \over 2} = ds$$
So, $$\int {{{d\,p\left( t \right)} \over {\left( {{1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 200} \right)}}} = \int {dt} $$
$$ \Rightarrow \int {{{2ds} \over s} = \int {dt} } \Rightarrow 2\log s = t + c$$
$$ \Rightarrow 2\log \left( {{{p\left( t \right)} \over 2} - 200} \right) = t + c$$
$$ \Rightarrow {{p\left( t \right)} \over 2} - 200 = {e^{{1 \over 2}}}k$$
Using given condition $$p\left( t \right) = 400 - 300{e^{t/2}}$$
