The correct Answer is:
To find the population of the village after 3 years, we will calculate the population at the end of each year based on the percentage increases and decrease provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Population**: - The initial population of the village is given as \( P = 10,000 \). 2. **First Year Population Increase**: - The population increases by 10% in the first year. - To calculate the population after the first year: \[ \text{Population after Year 1} = P \times \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right) = 10,000 \times 1.10 = 11,000 \] 3. **Second Year Population Increase**: - The population increases by 20% in the second year. - To calculate the population after the second year: \[ \text{Population after Year 2} = 11,000 \times \left(1 + \frac{20}{100}\right) = 11,000 \times 1.20 = 13,200 \] 4. **Third Year Population Decrease**: - The population decreases by 5% in the third year. - To calculate the population after the third year: \[ \text{Population after Year 3} = 13,200 \times \left(1 - \frac{5}{100}\right) = 13,200 \times 0.95 = 12,540 \] 5. **Final Population**: - The final population after 3 years is \( 12,540 \). ### Final Answer: The population of the village after 3 years will be **12,540**. ---
