Population Calculation After Percentage Increases

This problem involves calculating the final population of a village after two consecutive percentage increases.

Initial Population

The starting population of the village is given as 2,90,000.

Year 1 Population Increase

The population increased by 10% in the first year. To find the population after the first year:

Population after Year 1 = Initial Population $\times (1 + \text{Increase Rate Year 1})$

Population after Year 1 = $2,90,000 \times (1 + \frac{10}{100})$

Population after Year 1 = $2,90,000 \times (1 + 0.10)$

Population after Year 1 = $2,90,000 \times 1.10 = 3,19,000$

Year 2 Population Increase

In the second year, the population increased by 30% based on the population at the end of the first year.

Population after Year 2 = Population after Year 1 $\times (1 + \text{Increase Rate Year 2})$

Population after Year 2 = $3,19,000 \times (1 + \frac{30}{100})$

Population after Year 2 = $3,19,000 \times (1 + 0.30)$

Population after Year 2 = $3,19,000 \times 1.30 = 4,14,700$

Final Population Calculation

The final population of the village after two years is 4,14,700.

Final Answer: The population after two years is 4,14,700.
