Answer:

Option: B is correct.

( b.  761,307 )

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

The number of private investigators is expected to increase from 52,000 in 2006 to 61,000 in 2016.

i.e. the percentage increase is given by:

\dfrac{61000-52000}{52000}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{9000}{52000}\times 100\\\\=17.3\%

Now it is given that:

There are 648,982 police officers in 2006.

so the number of police officers in 2016 will be:

117.3\% \times 648982\\\\=\dfrac{117.3}{100}\times 648982\\\\=761255.886

Hence, number of  police officers  in 2016 to have a greater percent increase than that of private investigators is:

Option:b 761,307

(Since in all the other option the value is less than the estimated value i.e. 761255.886 )
