Option 3 : 125000

GIVEN:

Populations of towns A and B are in the ratio 20 : 27.

Next year the population of town A increases by 25000 but the population of town B doesn’t change.

CALCULATION:

Suppose the population of towns A and B are 20x and 27x respectively.

According to the question:

(20x + 25000) : 27x = 25 : 27

⇒ 540x + 675000 = 675x

⇒ 135x = 675000

⇒ x = 5000

Hence,

Current population of town A = 20 × 5000 + 25000 = 125000
