During the 2010 PostJamb registration exercise which lasted 15 days, the number of candidates registering doubled every day in the last five days but was constant in the first 10 days. If the number of candidates at the beginning was 740, what was the number after the registration?
A. 326,000 B. 236,000 C. 218,000 D. 118,000
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Since the number of candidates doubled every day in the last five days, the total number of candidates on the 15th day would be \( 740 \times 2^5 = 236,000 \).
