E. coli has only 4.6 × 106 base pairs and completes the process of replication within 38 minutes; then the average rate of polymerisation is approximately

(1) 1000 base pairs/second

(2) 2000 base pairs/second

(3) 3000 base pairs/second

(4) 4000 base pairs/second

It should be 4000 bp/sec.
4.6 x 106/18 x 60 = ~4000 bp/sec
