(A) 27.5%
(B) 28.9%
(C) 43.6%
(D) 65.4%
Correct Option is: A
Population in a small town last year = 50000
Population in a small town after one year = 63750
Increase in population = 63750 – 50000 = 13750
Therefore,
percentage increase in population = Increase in population/Last year population × 100 %
= 13750/50000 × 100
= 1375000/50000
= 27.5%
Thus, the increase in population is 27.5%
