Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Given,

population in the beginning of the year 1996 = 800

Rate of increase of population per year = 5%

Increased Rate in 1998 = 2 * 5 = 10%

10% of 800 is 80

Therefore, population in the year 1998 = 800 + 80 = 880

Hence, option (i) 880 is the correct answer
