What is the percentage increment in the population of village A in 2021 as compared to the population in the year 2018? (Correct up to two decimal places.)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 7.07.

The population of village A in 2018 = 12381

The population of village A in 2021 = 13256

Population increment = 13256 - 12381 = 875

Percentage increment in the population of village A = Population increment /The population of village A in 2021 × 100

⇒ 875/12381 × 100 = 7.07%

Therefore, there is an increment of 7.07% in village A from 2018 to 2021
