  2. B
    226792
  3. C
    228792
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The net annual growth rate of the population is:
Net Growth Rate=Birth Rate−Death Rate=12%−7%=5% per annum
Given:

Initial population (P
0

) = 2,04,800

Net growth rate (R) = 5%

Time (n) = 2 years

The population after 2 years (P) is given by:

P=P

P=204800×(1+
