Given:

A district has 10,24,000 inhabitants.

The population increases at the rate of 2.5% per annum.

Concept used:

In case of the compound interest,

Amount = P(1 + R/100)N

CI = P(1 + R/100)N - P

where

P = Principal amount

R = Rate of interest per year

N = Time in years

Calculation:

Now, the number of inhabitants at the end of three years

⇒ 1024000(1 + 2.5%)3

⇒ 11,02,736

∴ The number of inhabitants at the end of three years is 11,02,736.
