      A 25028 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 23320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 29800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let, the present population be ‘x’.

      ATQ,

      So, the population after 2 years = 1.18 × 1.18 × x = 41472

      Or, x = 41472 × (1/1.18) × (1/1.18)

      So, x = 29,800

      Therefore, present population of the city = x = 29,800
