Option 1: 25000

Option 2: 25100

Option 3: 25200

Option 4: 25500

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25000


Solution : The present population is $26010$.
The population after $n$ years = $P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$, where $P$ is the population before two years and the population increases at a rate of $r$% per annum.
So, $P(1+\frac{2}{100})^2 = 26010$
⇒ $P = 25000$
Hence, the correct answer is 25000.
