Question

Q. The population of a town is 200,000. If the annual birth rate and the annual death rate are 6% and 3% respectively, then calculate the population of the town after 3 years.

• A. 218546
• B. 220789
• C. 236875
• D. 2.40987

Answer 1

The correct option is A 218546

The total population growth is 6-3 = 3%
Population after 2 years $=200000\times {(1+\frac{3}{100})}^{3}200000\times \frac{103}{100}\times \frac{103}{100}\times \frac{103}{100}=218545.4=2,18,546$
