The population of a town is increasing at a uniform rate. If its population was 90,000 and 96,000 in 2022 and 2023 respectively, what would be its population in 2024?(uniform absolute increase)

Given:

Population in 2022 = 90,000
Population in 2023 = 96,000
Increase per year = 96,000 − 90,000 = 6,000 (uniform rate)

Formula:

Population in next year = Current population + Annual increase

Solution:

Population in 2024 = 96,000 + 6,000 = 1,02,000

Final Answer: 1,02,000
