(D) 40%
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
let the no. of people be x
let the total income be y
per capital income = y/x
population increases by 20%
new population = x+x×20/100
= 120x/100
total income increase by 60%
new total income= y+y×60/100
= 160y/100
new per capital income=(160y/100)/(120x/100)
= 160y/120x
= 4y/3x
per capital income increase by = (4y/3x)-(y/x)
= y/3x
increase in percentage = (y/3x)/(y/x)×100
= (y/3x × x/y)×100
= (1/3) ×100
= 33⅓%
= 33.33%
hence per capital income increase by 33.33%
