The population of a town as per Census 2011 was 22,730 and the population as per census 2001 was 15,770. Considering arithmetic projection of growth, the projected population in 2016 will be ___________
-
- 6178 to 6210
- 16178 to 16210
- 26178 to 26210
- 21188 to 22310
Correct Option: C
In 10 years, growth in population = 22,730 – 15,770 = 6960
| In 1 year, population growth would be = | = 696 | |
| 10 |
In 5 years, population growth would be = 696 × 5 = 3480 (Arithmetic projection)
Therefore, after 5 years that is in 2016, the population would be = 22730 + 3480 = 26210
