SSC CHSL 2022 PYQ — Question 72

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 84400

Given:

Present population = 93051

Percentage increase = 5% per year

Formula Used:

$Initial\ Population \times {(1 + {r \over 100})^T} = Current\ Population$

Explanation:

According to the given question,

Let the population before 2 years be x.

Now, $x \times {(1 + {5 \over 100})^2} = 93051$ 

⇒ x = $93051 \times 400 \over 441$ = 84400

Hence the required answer is 84400.
