SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 71

The correct answer is Option 2. i.e. 11,02,736.

Given:

Present population = 10,24000

Increment = 2.5%

Concept Used:

$New\ population = present\ population \times (1 + {increment \over 100})^t$  ....(i)

Explanation:

Using equation (i), New population = $10,24000 \times (1 + {2.5 \over 100})^3$ 

⇒ New population = $10,24000 \times ({102.5 \over 100})^3$

⇒  New population = 11,02,736

Hence the population after 3 years is 11,02,736.
