Question:

The population of a city is 160,000. If it increases at the rate of 6% per annum, then what will be its population 2 years hence?

Options:

268942

186935

167425

179776

Correct Answer:

179776

Explanation:

Current population = 160000

Population after 1 year = 160000 + 6% of 160000 = 169600

Population after 2 year = 169600 + 6% of 169600 = 179776
