Detailed Solution

Given,
Population of a town three years ago, P=50000
Rate of growth of population during first year,

R 1 = 4 %

Rate of growth of population during second year,

R 2 = 5 %

Rate of growth of population during third year,

R 3 = 3 %

Calculate the present population of a town. Present population

⇒ P 1 + R 1 100 × 1 + R 2 100 × 1 + R 3 100

⇒ 50000 1 + 4100 × 1 + 5100 × 1 + 3100 ⇒ 50000 × 1 + 125 × 1 + 120 × 103100 ⇒ 50000 × 2625 × 2120 × 103100 ⇒ 56238

Hence, the present population of a town is 56238.
