Answer 2

Answer:

308429

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the population of Sundarnagar was 235471 in the year 1991.

Now, from 1991 to 2001 the population has increased by 72958.

Therefore, the population of 1991 should be added to the increased population from 1991 to 2001, to give the current population.

Hence, the new population of Sundarnagar in the year 2001 was (235471+72958) = 308429. (Answer)
