Correct Answer: 15,972
Solution : Given, Population of town = 12,000 Percentage increase in population = 10% We know the population of the city in n years = Initial population $× (1 + \frac{r}{100})^n$, where r is the rate at which the population is increasing. $\therefore$ Population of the city in 3 years $= 12000 × (1 + \frac{10}{100})^3$ $= 12000 × (\frac{11}{10})^3$ $= 12000 × \frac{1331}{1000}$ $= 12 × 1331$ $= 15972$ Hence, the correct answer is 15,972.
