12000

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A city has population = 10000

Population increase each year = 4%

So, Population increase after 1 year = 10000 * 4%

                                                           = 10000*4/100

                                                           = 400

Adding in the current population:

10000+400 = 10,400

Population increase after 2 year = 10,400*4%

                                                     = 10400*4/100

                                                      = 416

Adding in the current population:

10400+416 = 10816

Population increase after 3 year = 10,816*4%

                                                     = 10816*4/100

                                                      = 433

Adding in the current population:

10816+433 = 11,249

Population increase after 4 year = 11,249*4%

                                                     = 11249*4/100

                                                      = 450

Adding in the current population:

11249+450 = 11,699

Population increase after 5 year = 11,699*4%

                                                     = 11699*4/100

                                                      = 468

Adding in the current population:

11699+468 = 12167

So, the population after 5 yeras will be 12167.

Option B is correct.
