Solution

Population after n years = Present population x `(1 + r/100)^n`

Present population = 2,00,000

After first year, population = = 2,00,000 xx `(1 + 10/100)^1`

`= 2,00,000 xx 11/10`

= 2,20,000

Population after two years = 2,20,000 `xx (1 + 15/100)^1`

= 253000

Thus, the population after two years is 2,53,000.
