Correct Answer: 7.07


Solution : The population of the village A in 2018 = 12381
The population of the village A in 2021 = 13256
The required percentage increment in the population
= $\frac{\text{Difference in population}}{\text{Original population}}×100$
= $\frac{13256-12381}{12381}×100$
= $\frac{875}{12381}×100$
= 7.07
Hence, the correct answer is 7.07.
