उत्तर

Here, P = Number of sheep initially = 200

A = Number of sheep after 3 years

R = Rate of increase in the number of sheep per year = 8%

N = 3 years

A = P `(1 + "R"/100)^"N"`

= 200 `(1 + 8/100)^3`

= `200((100 + 8)/100)^3`

= `200(108/100)^3`

= `200((27 xx 4)/(25 xx 4))^3`

= `200(27/25)^3`

= `200 xx 27/25 xx 27/25 xx 27/25`

= `8 xx 27 xx 27/25 xx 27/25`

= `0.32/25 xx 27 xx 27 xx 27`

= `0.0128 xx 27 xx 27 xx 27`

= 251.9424

= 252 

∴ The number of sheep with the shepherd after 3 years would be 252 (approx).
