Correct Answer: 5400
Solution : Given: The population of a village decreases at the rate of 40% per annum. The population 2 years ago was 15,000. The previous population ($x$) = 15000 The decrease rate ($r$) = 40% Time ($t$) = 2 years So, the present population = $x(1-\frac{r}{100})^2$ = $15000(1-\frac{40}{100})^2$ = $15000×\frac{3}{5}×\frac{3}{5}$ = $5400$ Hence, the correct answer is 5400.
