Population of a village increased by 15% from 1995 to 1996 and by 10% from 1996 to 1997. If the population of the village was 400 in 1995, what was its population in 1997? Correct Answer 506

Given:

Population of the village in 1995 = 400

Percentage increase in population from 1995 to 1996 = 15%

Percentage increase in population from 1996 to 1997 = 10%

Calculation:

Population in 1996 = 400 × 115/100 = 460

Population in 1997 = 460 × 110/100 = 506

∴ Population of the village in 1997 is 506
