correct option is D 38.8 years

Explanation:

given data

population grows rate = 1.8%

to find out

how many years will it take to double

solution

we consider here initial population is x

so after 1 year population will be = (100% + 1.8% ) x = 1.018 x

and after n year population will be =

so it will double

2x =

take log both side

log 2 = n log (1.018)

n =

n = 38.853

so after 38.8 years it will double

correct option is D 38.8 years
