Ex 7.3, 1 The population of a place increased to 54,000 in 2003 at a rate of 5% per annum (i) find the population in 2001.Given, Population of place in 2003 = 54000 It has increased at a rate of 5% P.A. Here 5 % is compounded rate So we use the formula A = P (1+š /100)^š Here, A = Population in year 2003 = 54000 P = Population in year 2001 R = 5% N = Number of years = 2003 ā 2001 = 2 Putting Values in formula, 54000 = P (š+š/ššš)^š 54000 = P (1+1/20)^2 54000 = P ((20 + 1)/20)^2 54000 = P (21/20)^2 54000 = P Ć (ššš/ššš) (54000 Ć 400)/441 = P P = (54 Ć 4 Ć100000)/441 P = 21600000/441 P = 48979.59 Since population cannot be decimal Thus, Population in year 2001 is around 48,980 Ex 7.3, 1 The population of a place increased to 54,000 in 2003 at a rate of 5% per annum (ii) what would be its population in 2005Given, Population in year 2003 (P) = 54000 Rate (R) = 5% p.a n = Number of Years = 2005 ā 2003 = 2 Since 5% is compounded rate, We use the formula A = P (1+š /100)^š Population in year 2005 = 54000 (š+š/ššš)^š = 54000 Ć (1+1/20)^2 = 54000 Ć ((20 + 1)/20)^2 = 54000 Ć (21/20)^2 = 54000 Ć ((21 Ć 21)/(20 Ć 20)) = 54000 Ć ššš/ššš = 540/4 Ć 441 = 270/2 Ć 441 = 135 Ć 441 = 59535 ā“ Population in year 2005 = 59,535
