Statement 1: The population of a town in the year 2024 is x and it increases by 10% every year. The population of in the year 2021 was = x
Statement 2: If the population increases from year 2021 to year 2024 at the rate of 10%, then corresponding decrease from 2024 to 2021 is 10 x 3%.

The general formula for population growth with a fixed annual percentage increase is:
Pt = Po
where, Pt = Population after t years
P0 = Initial population
r = Annual growth rate (in percentage)
t = Time in years
Given, the population in 2024 is x, and the annual growth rate is 10%. To find the population in 2021, we need to go back 3 years (from 2024 to 2021).
Rearranging the formula to solve for P0 =
⇒ P0 =
So, statement 1 is false.
If the population increases from year 2021 to year 2024 at the rate of 10%.
Let P0 be the population in 2021 and Pt be the population in 2024.
⇒ Pt = P0
⇒ Pt = P0 (1 + 0.1)3
⇒ Pt = P0 x 1.13
⇒ Pt = 1.331P0
The percentage decrease =
So, statement 2 is false.
∴ Both the statements are false.
Hence, option 2 is correct option.
