Given:
Current year's wastage = 12 lakh tonnes
Increment in the city's waste generation = 4℅
To Find:
Waste generation after 2 years
Solution:
- Waste generation leads to pollution and serious health issues
- waste generation especially in a country like India has increased over a period
- it mainly results from increased population and economic growth
Increment for one year: 12,00,000× 4℅
: 48,000
Waste generation after one year = 12,48,000
Increment after 2 years = 12,48,000× 4℅
= 49,920
Waste generation after two years = 12,48,000 + 49,920
= 12,97,920
Thus, the waste generation after 2 years: 12,97,920
