Population after 2 yr
= P (1 + R/100)2
= 250000 (1 + 2/100)2Correct Option: D
Population after 2 yr
= P (1 + R/100)2
= 250000 (1 + 2/100)2
⇒ 250000 x (51/50) x (51/50) = 260100
∴ Growth = 260100 - 250000 = 10100

Let 1st number be M and 2nd number be M.
According to the question,
48% of M = 60% N
⇒ (M x 48)/100 = (N x 60)/100Correct Option: C
Let 1st number be M and 2nd number be M.
According to the question,
48% of M = 60% N
⇒ (M x 48)/100 = (N x 60)/100
⇒ M/N = (60/100) x (100/48) = 5/4
∴ M : N = 5 : 4

Let the positive number be N.
According to the question
N x (15+ 20)% = 126
⇒ N x 35 = 126 x 100Correct Option: C
Let the positive number be N.
According to the question
N x (15+ 20)% = 126
⇒ N x 35 = 126 x 100
∴ N = 12600/35 = 360
So, one-third of the number = 360/3 = 120
