The strength of an Institute for the first year is 6000. Then there is increase in strength of institute by 10% for second year, by 20% in the third year and by 35% in the fourth year. What is the strength of an Institute in the fourth year?

The strength of an Institute for the first year is 6000. Then there is increase in strength of institute by 10% for second year, by 20% in the third year and by 35% in the fourth year. What is the strength of an Institute in the fourth year? Correct Answer 10692

Given:

Strength of institute for the first year = 6000

Increase % in second year = 10% 

Increase % in third year = 20% 

Increase % in fourth year = 35% 

Concept used:

Final year strength = First year strength × (1 + R1/100) × (1 + R2/100).....

Calculations:

Strength of an Institute for the first year = 6000

Strength of an Institute in the fourth year = 6000(1 + 10/100)(1 + 20/100)(1 + 35/100)

⇒ 6000 × 1.1 × 1.2 × 1.35

⇒ 10692

∴ The strength of an institute in the fourth year is 10692
