The population of a city is 40,000. It increases by 8% annually. Find the population after 2 years.

This question was previously asked in
OTET 2026 Social Studies Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

46,656

Population after 2 years = 40,000 × (1 + 8/100)^2 = 40,000 × 1.08 × 1.08 = 40,000 × 1.1664 = 46,656. Hence option (D) is correct.
