Question

The population of a village in 2019 was 30,000. The increase in population rate was 15% and 25% respectively from the year 2019 to 2020 and 2020 to 2021. What was the population in the year 2021?

A.

42,000

B.

42,325

C.

42,523

D.

43,125

Correct option is D

Given:
Population in 2019 = 30,000
Increase rate from 2019 to 2020 = 15%
Increase rate from 2020 to 2021 = 25%
Formula Used:
To find the population in 2021, we first find the population in 2020 using the 15% increase rate, and then use the 25% increase rate to find the population in 2021.
Population after increase is given by:
Population = Initial population × (1 + rate of increase)
Solution:
The population in 2020:
Population in 2020 = 30,000 × (1 + 15/100) = 30,000 × 1.15 = 34,500
The population in 2021:
Population in 2021 = 34,500 × (1 + 25/100) = 34,500 × 1.25 = 43,125
Thus, the population in 2021 is 43,125.
