The population of a village one year ago was 72,000. Due to migration it decreases at the rate of 8% per annum. What is its present population?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Population 1 year ago = 72000
According to question ,
Present day population = 72000 × \(\frac{92}{100}\)
= 72000 × \(\frac{23}{25}\)
= 66240
So , present day population is 66240.
