Given:
Village x,
Population = 68000
Rate of decrease = 1200 per year
Village y,
Population = 42000
Rate of increase = 800 per year
To find:
The year when the population at both the villages are same.
Solution:
Framing an equation,
68000 – 1200 ( Years ) = 42000 + 800 ( Years )
Equating and solving for Years,
2000 ( Years ) = 26000
Years = 26000 / 2000
Years = 13
