5%

Explanation:
Increase in 10 years = (262500 - 175000) = 87500.
Increase% = ( 87500 / 175000) x 100 % = 50%.

8.75%
Decade = 10years
In 10 years, population inreased from 1,75,000 to 2,62500
(i.eI inreased in 10years = 2,62,500 - 1,75,000
=87500

4.37%

Increase in 10 years = (262500 - 175000) = 87500.
Therefore for 1 years, increase population = 87500/10
=8750

first year increase percentage=(8750/175000) x100=5%
second year population =175000+8750=183750
second year increase percentage=(8750/183750)x100=4.76%

similarly for
third year 4.54%
fourth year 4.34%
fifth year 4.16%
sixth year 4%
seventh year 3.84%
eighth year 3.7%
ninth year 3.57%
tenth year 3.44%

average we get 4.37%
