Correct Answer: 530450
Solution : Given: The population of the city two years ago = 5,00,000 Net population growth rate = 6% – 3% = 3% ⇒ Population at present = $500000\times(1+\frac{3}{100})^2$ ⇒ Population at present = $500000\times (1.03)^2$ ⇒ Population at present = $500000\times1.0609$ $\therefore$ Population at present = $530450$ Hence, the correct answer is 530450.
