Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Correct answer is option 3 i.e. 3312.
Given that
The population of a village = 3200
It increases by 12½% in the first year
then it decreases by 8% in the second year.
According to the question;
The population after 2 years = 3200 × 9/8 × 92/100 = 3312
