Is the statement sufficient?
A group of rabbits multiplies at a constant rate. By what factor does its population increase every day?
(1) The population grows from 200 to 5,000 in one week.
Say everyday the population increases by a factor x.
Initial population = 200
Population at the end of 1st day = 200*x
Population at the end of 2nd day = 200*(x^2)
Population at the end of 3rd day = 200*(x^3)
...
Population at the end of 7th day = 200*(x^7)
Now, 200*(x^7) = 5000 => (x^7) = 5000/200 = 25 => x = 7-th root of 25
Therefore the statement is sufficient.
