उत्तर

Let the population two years ago = P (Principal)

Present population of the town = A = 631680

Rate of migration in 1st year = 4%

Rate of migration in 2nd year = 6%

By using the formula,

`A = P(1 - R/100)(1 - R/100)`

⇒ `631680 = P(1 - 4/100)(1 - 6/100)`

⇒ `631680 = P xx 24/25 xx 47/50`

⇒ `P = (631680 xx 25 xx 50)/(24 xx 47)`

⇒ P = 560 × 1250 = 700000

Hence, the population of town was 700000 two years ago.
