      A city’s population rose by 8% in the first year,

      increased by 10% in the second year, and then dropped by 12% in the third year. If the population in 2023 was 33,264, find its population in 2020.
      A 36000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 26320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 17530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 23940 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the population in 2020 be ‘x’.

      ATQ,

      x × 1.08 × 1.10 × 0.88 = 33264

      Or, x = 33264 × (1/1.08) × (1/1.10) × (1/0.88)

      So, x = 36,000

      Therefore, the population of the city in 2020 = x = 36,000
