Correct Answer: 43,125


Solution : The population of a village 2 years ago = 30000
The population increased at the rate of 15%, 25%.
Now, after an increase in 15% of the population,
New population = 30000 + 15% of 30000 = 30000 + $\frac{15}{100}$ × 30000 = 34,500
After an increase in 25% of the population,
New population= 34500 + 25% of 34500 = 34500 + $\frac{25}{100}$ × 34500 = 43,125
Hence, the correct answer is 43,125.
