The population of the city based on the incremental method, in the year 2020.
i = 7500 & r = 750.
Pn = P + (i+r)n.
= 50000 + (7500+750)*2.
Pn = 66500.
Where,
P = Present population in 2000.
i = avg. increase in population.
r = avg. incremental increase.
n = Number of decades.
i = 7500 & r = 750.
Pn = P + (i+r)n.
= 50000 + (7500+750)*2.
Pn = 66500.
Where,
P = Present population in 2000.
i = avg. increase in population.
r = avg. incremental increase.
n = Number of decades.

According to Incremental increase method;
P=p+nx+n(n+1)/2*y
P - popln after n decades from the present.
p - present population
x - avg increase of population of known decades
y - avg of incremental increase of the known decades.
Then substitute these values in eqn
Here we want to find the 2020th population calculating from 2000-2020 n=2 decades
P=50000+2*7500+2(2+1)/2*750 = 67250
So, the correct answer is 67250.
P=p+nx+n(n+1)/2*y
P - popln after n decades from the present.
p - present population
x - avg increase of population of known decades
y - avg of incremental increase of the known decades.
Then substitute these values in eqn
Here we want to find the 2020th population calculating from 2000-2020 n=2 decades
P=50000+2*7500+2(2+1)/2*750 = 67250
So, the correct answer is 67250.

Pn = P+n(Ia+Iinc),
Pn = 5000+2(7500+750).
= 66500.
Pn = 5000+2(7500+750).
= 66500.

Pn = Po + nx + [(n(n+1))/2]*y.
n = no Of decades,
x = avg increase in population,
y = avg. incremental increase,
Po = initial population.
n = no Of decades,
x = avg increase in population,
y = avg. incremental increase,
Po = initial population.

Avg increase is 7500 calculated for 8 decades.
Then the total increase in population from 1930 is 7500x8=60000. If increase itself is 60000, what is the actual population in 1920 initially then? How can the population in 2000 be very less=50000?
Please anyone explain.

What rate of supply would you recommend, for a town with a population of 50,000?

Yes, you are right @Pooja. So,
Pn = 55000 + 2 * 7500+(2 * 3÷2) * 750 = 67250.
Pn = 55000 + 2 * 7500+(2 * 3÷2) * 750 = 67250.

According to incremental increase method, yn = yo+nr+n(n+1)/2xk.
yo = Initial population n = No of decades k = net incremental increase.
r = avg increase in population.
So, y 2020 = 50000+7500x2+3x750 = 67250.
Answer given is wrong.
yo = Initial population n = No of decades k = net incremental increase.
r = avg increase in population.
So, y 2020 = 50000+7500x2+3x750 = 67250.
Answer given is wrong.
