*A certain city with a population of 132,000 is to be divided into 11 voting districts, and no district is to have a population that is more than 10 percent greater than the population of any other district. What is the minimum possible population that the least populated district could have?
(A) 10,700
(B) 10,800
(C) 10,900
(D) 11,000
(E) 11,100
Explanation for this is posted in articles. However, I am confused. I can't picture the city with the highest population being 10% more than the city with the lowest population. In reality, is the only why to minimize the population of one city is to have same population in each of the other 10 cities ? Can each city have different population from one another, but remain no more than 10% of the other population ?
I don't know why I can't reply to the article.
