Abstract: In this article, we give a growth rate about the number of periodic orbits in the Franks type theorem obtained by the authors cite{LWY}. As applications, we prove the following two results: there exist infinitely many distinct non-contractible closed geodesics on $mathbbR{P}^2$ endowed with a Riemannian metric such that its Gaussian curvature is positive, moreover, the number of non-contractible closed geodesics of length $leql$ grows at least like $l^2$; and there exist either two or infinitely many distinct non-contractible closed geodesics on Finsler $mathbbR{P}^2$ with reversibility $lambda$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $left(fraclambda1+lambdaight{)}^2<Kle1$, furthermore, if the second case happens, then the number of non-contractible closed geodesics of length $leql$ grows at least like $l^2$.
