Answer 1

It is given that, population of Sundarnagar in 1991 = 2,35,471

Increase in population in 2001 = 72,958

We know that, population of the city in 2001 = Population of Sundarnagar in 1991 + Increase in population in 2001

By substituting the values, population of the city in 2001 = 2,35,471 + 72,958

By addition, population of the city in 2001 = 3,08,429

Therefore, the population of the city in 2001 is 3,08,429.
