Solve the problem.
-The population of a particular city is increasing at a rate proportional to its size. It follows the function $\mathrm { P } ( \mathrm { t } ) = 1 + \mathrm { ke } ^ { 0.12 \mathrm { t } }$ where $\mathrm { k }$ is a constant and $\mathrm { t }$ is the time in years. If the current population is 18,000 , in how many years is the population expected to be 45,000 ? Round to the nearest year.
A) $53 \mathrm { yr }$
B) $3 \mathrm { yr }$
C) $8 \mathrm { yr }$
D) $5 \mathrm { yr }$
