The growth of the virus is considered exponential.

Thus the expression is,

[tex]N=N_oe^{kt}[/tex]

Given,

A virus takes 16 days to grow from 100 to 190.

Thus,

[tex]190=100e^{16k}[/tex]

Putting ln on both side we have

ln(190/100)=16k

0.64=16k

k=0.04

Similarly,

[tex]760=100e^{0.04t}[/tex]

Solving,

ln(760/100)=0.04t

t=50.70

Thus required days is 51 (rounding off to whole number)
