Detailed Solution

Concept- The question is asked in the form of compound interest style. Therefore, we will solve it using the formula for compound interest and final amount which is, C.I=A-P and  A=(1+ R100)N respectively.
Given is that:
Current population = 3888180
That means: (initial population) = 3888180
Growth rate is 10%
That means: R=10%
Population after 10 years is supposed to be:
Therefore: N=10
Putting the above values in the formula (1+ R100)N, we can find the population after 10 years.
Let’s assume the Population after 10 years to be P1. Then:
P1= P (1+ R100)N
= 3888180  1+ 1010010
= 3888180 1.110
= 3888180 ×2.5937
P1= 10084772
Population after 10 years will be 10084772
Hence, the correct option is 4.
