- Calculate the population growth over two years with an 8% growth rate.

- Use the compound interest formula for population:

\( \text{Population after } n \text{ years} = P \times (1 + r)^n \).

Here, \( P = 200,000 \), \( r = 0.08 \), \( n = 2 \).

- First, find the population after the first year:

\( 200,000 \times 1.08 = 216,000 \).

- Next, find the population after the second year:

\( 216,000 \times 1.08 = 233,280 \).

- Therefore, the correct option is Option 2: 2,33,280.
