Solution

The correct option is D 18.8% increase

18.8% वृद्धि
Let the initial population of the city = z.
Percentage increase in the population after first year = 10%
So, the population after one year of city = z + 10% of z = 1.1z Percentage increase in the population after second years = 20% So, the population after second year = 1.1z + 20% of 1.1z = 1.1z × 1.2 = 1.32z
Percentage decrease in the population after third year = 10%. Population after third year = 1.32z – 10% of 1.32z = 1.32z × 0.90 = 1.188z
So, required percentage increase = (1.188zzz)×100=18.8%
Thus, the population of city will increase by 18.8% in the three years.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

माना कि शहर की आरंभिक जनसंख्या = z
प्रथम वर्ष के पश्चात् शहर की जनसंख्या में प्रतिशत वृद्धि = 10% इसलिए, प्रथम वर्ष के पश्चात् शहर की जनसंख्या = z + 10% of z = 1.1z
द्वितीय वर्ष के पश्चात् जनसंख्या में प्रतिशत वृद्धि = 20%
इसलिए, द्वितीय वर्ष के पश्चात् जनसंख्या = 1.1z + 1.1z का 20% = 1.1z × 1.2 = 1.32z
तृतीय वर्ष के पश्चात् जनसंख्या में प्रतिशत ह्रास = 10%
तृतीय वर्ष के पश्चात् जनसंख्या = 1.32z – 10% of 1.32z = 1.32z × 0.90 = 1.188z
इसलिए, वांछित प्रतिशत वृद्धि = 0.188 × 100 = 18.8%
​​​​​​​इस प्रकार, तीन वर्षों में शहर की जनसंख्या 18.8% बढ़ेगी। इसलिए, विकल्प (d) सही उत्तर है।
