Step-by-step explanation:
population of a town = 1,16,000
next year increased by= 8.5%
1,16,000*8.5/100
116000*85/1000
116*85=9860
population in 1960= 116000+9860=125860
population in two years= 116000+125860
= 241860
in the following year decreased by =10%
241860*10/100=24186
population in 1961=241860-24186
=217674
