Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 15,750.
Given that
The population of Village D in 2020 was 10,500
The total population of these six villages is 100%.
The percentage of the population of Village D in 2020 = 8%
The percentage of the population of Village A in 2020 = 12%
According to the question
⇒ 8% = 10500
⇒ 1% = 10500/8
⇒ 12% = 10500 × 12/8 = 15750
Hence, the population of Village A in 2020 was 15,750.
