Question Details

Options

A

16243rd part of the population

B

32243rd part of the population

C

32729rd part of the population

D

64729rd part of the population

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

64729rd part of the population

Solution :

The correct option is 64729rd part of the population.


Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Understand the Fraction of Population Remaining Each Year:
Let the initial population of the community be represented as 1 (or P).
It is given that 13rd of the population migrates away every year.
Therefore, the fraction of the population that stays or remains at the end of any given year is:
1-13=23


2. Calculate the Remaining Population After 6 Years:
Since there is no further growth in the population during this period, the remaining population decreases by a factor of 23 each year for 6 consecutive years.

After the 1st year, leftover population = 23
After the 2nd year, leftover population = (23)2
After the 6th year, leftover population = (23)6


3. Evaluate the Power:
(23)6=2636

Calculating the numerator and denominator separately:
26=2×2×2×2×2×2=64
36=3×3×3×3×3×3=729


Thus, the leftover population after the sixth year is 64729rd part of the population.
