In 2001, the population and work force participation rate of a town were 30,000 and 30 percent respectively. The work force participation rate in the year 2011 increased to 34 percent. If the decadal population growth rate was 6 percent, the increase in the number of working people in the town in 2011 was __________
-
- 1512 to 1785
- 1812 to 1812
- 1425 to 1758
- 2012 to 2154
Correct Option: B
1812 to 1812
Working population (2001) = 9000
In 2011, total population was = 30,000 + 6% of 30,000 = 31,800
Now, 34% of 31,800 is the work force = 10812
Therefore increase in work force = 10812 – 9000 = 1812
