Correct Answer: 11088


Solution : The number of workers in the fourth year is $P(1+\frac{R_1}{100})(1+\frac{R_2}{100})(1+\frac{R_3}{100})$,
where $P$ is the initial number of workers, $R_1$ is the growth rate in the first year, $R_2$ is the growth rate in the second year and $R_3$ is the growth rate in the third year.
We have, $P=8000, R_1=5, R_2=10$ and $R_3=20$
The number of workers in 4th year = $8000(1+\frac{5}{100})(1+\frac{10}{100})(1+\frac{20}{100})$
= $8000(\frac{105}{100})(\frac{110}{100})(\frac{120}{100})$
= 11088
Hence, the correct answer is 11088.
