Answer:
=======

Given:

The population of the town $5\: years$ago was $1200000$

Increased rate $= 15$%

Present population of a town

$= 1200000 + 15\% \: of \: 1200000$

$= 1200000 + \frac{(15 \times 1200000)}{100}$

$= 1200000 + 15 \times 12000$

$= 1200000 + 180000$

$= 1380000$

Hence,

The present population of the town is $1380000$.

Given:

The population of the town 5 years ago= 1200000

Increased rate = 15 %

Present population of a town 

$= 1200000 + 15\% \: of \: 1200000$ 

$= 1200000 + \frac{(15 \times 1200000)}{100}$

$= 1200000 + 15 \times 12000$

= 1200000 + 180000

= 1380000

Hence, 

The present population of the town is 1380000
