Detailed Solution

Given that population increases annually by 25%.
Let population 3 years ago be x.
Population two years ago was 125100x.
Population last year was 125×12510000x.
Population this year is,
 125×125×1251000000x=10000000   x=5120000
So, the population 3 years ago was 5120000.
Difference between population three years ago and two years ago,
25% of  x  25100×5120000
25×51200
1280000 So, the difference between the population three years ago and two years ago is 1280000 crore.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
