    the population after 2 years is 43,200, find its present population.
    A 25028 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 23320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let, the present population be ‘x’.

    ATQ,

    So, the population after 2 years = 1.20 × 1.20 × x = 43200

    Or, x = 43200 × (1/1.20) × (1/1.20)

    So, x = 30,000

    Therefore, present population of the town = x = 30,000
