Creatively image a question and justification for this answer: (E)
The question is: he population of a city is 140,000. If it increases at the rate of 6% per annum, then what will be its population 2 years hence?
Options:
(A) 1797787
(B) 1597723
(C) 159776
(D) 159728
(E) 157304
Step-by-step reasoning process: Population after n years = P [1 + (R/100)]2
Population after 2 years = 140000 * [1 + 6/100]2 = (160000 x 53/50 x 53/50) = 157304
