Option 2: 25,785
Option 3: 25,758
Option 4: 23,785
Correct Answer: 25,785
Solution :
Given: The number of persons rose by 20% to 30,942 in a year.
Let the original population a year ago be $x$.
According to the question,
$x×\frac{100+20}{100}= 30942$
⇒ $x=\frac{30942×100}{120}$
$\therefore x= 25785$
Hence, the correct answer is 25,785.
