Pn= Po[1+i/100]n
Where Pn= Population after nth decade P0 =Present population n = Number of decades i = Growth rate per decade
Pn=P0+ni+(n(n+1)/2 x r) Pn = Population after nth decade P0 = Present population n = Number of decades r = Average increase for two consecutive decades i=Growth rate per decade
