Correct Answer: 23.08%


Solution : Given: The population in 2020 = 80
The population in 2010 = 65
Percentage increase = $\frac{\text{New value – Old value}}{\text{Old value}}\times 100$
Percentage increase $=\frac{80 - 65}{65}\times 100=\frac{15}{65}\times 100=23.08\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 23.08%.
