    B 3320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let, the present number of trees be ‘x’.

    ATQ,

    So, the number of trees after 2 years = 1.12 × 1.12 × x = 3136

    Or, x = 3136 × (1/1.12) × (1/1.12)

    So, x = 2,500

    Therefore, the current number of trees in the park = x = 2,500
