Answer:

Explanation:

To find the population of Salyankot before 2 years, we can use the formula for exponential growth:

Population at time t = Population at time 0 * (1 + growth rate)^t

In this case, the population at time 0 is 17486, the growth rate is 18%, and t is 2. We can plug these values into the formula as follows:

Population before 2 years = 17486 * (1 + 0.18)^2 = 17486 * 1.36 = 23,744

Therefore, the population of Salyankot before 2 years was approximately 23,744.
