Solution
If we analyse the pattern we observe that every year the number of rabbits is double of the previous year.
After the 5th year Number of rabbits can be estimated as less than 132 x 2 = 264
After the 6th year Number of rabbits can be estimated as less than 264 x 2 = 528
After the 7th year Number of rabbits can be estimated as less than 528 x 2 = 1056
Hence, After 6th year the number of rabbits crosses 1000 value.
