Question

4. A farmer increases his output of wheat in his farm every year by 8%. This year he produced 2187 quintals of wheat. What was the yearly produce of wheat two years ago? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

=1875 quintals

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

Present production of wheat = 2187 quintals

Increase in production = 8% p.a.

We know that

Production of wheat 2 years ago = A÷(1+r/100)

n

Substituting the values

=2187÷(27/25)

2

By further calculation

=2187÷(27/25)

2

So we get

= 2187×25/27×25/27

=1875 quintals
