The correct answer is [B]

- The year 2015 Population = 1010+1224
= 2234
- Pupils who left the school at the end of the year
= 125 +141 = 266
- New population at the beginning of 2016
= 2234 -266 = 1968
- Number of pupils who transferred from the school in 2016
= 115+ 84 = 199
- New population at the end of the year 2016
1968-199 = 1769
