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
