MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.6

The present population of a community is 28000 with an average water consumption of 4200 $$m^3/d$$. The existing water treatment plant has a design capacity of 6000 $$m^3/d$$. It is expected that the population will increase to 44000 during the next 20 years. The number of years from now when the plant will reach it's design capacity, assuming an arithmetic rate of population growth, will be
