If the population of Dhaka doubles every 10 years, how many times the population of the city will be in the year X+100 as compared to the years X?

A. 100
B. 200
C. 1,000
D. 1,024
E. 1,990

Since 100/10 = 10, the population will have doubled 10 times. Thus, the population in 100 + X years will be 2^10 = 1,024 times what the population was in the year X.

Answer: D

A. 100
B. 200
C. 1,000
D. 1,024
E. 1,990


Difference in number of years:

x + 100 - x = 100

In every 10 years , population becomes double.

In 100 years , population will be doubled for 10 times.

Note: Whenever we get double type question , we must use 2 to make something double.

Thus , \(2^10\) is the answer.

\(2^10\) = 1024.

D is the correct answer.
