Question:

Population of a village is 1,00,000.  If population increases by 10% every year then find its population after 3 year.

Options:

1,10,000

1,21,000

1,20,000

1,33,100

Correct Answer:

1,33,100

Explanation:

Present Population × [1+\(\frac{10}{100}\)] × [1+\(\frac{10}{100}\)] × [1+\(\frac{10}{100}\)] = Population after  3 year

1,00,000 × \(\frac{11}{10}\) × \(\frac{11}{10}\) × \(\frac{11}{10}\) = Population after  3 year

1,00,000 × \(\frac{1331}{1000}\) = Population after 3 year

1,33,100 = Population after  3 year
