Question:

The cost of a car purchased 2 years ago, depreciates at the rate of 20% every year. If its present worth is Rs 315600, find its value after 3 years.

Options:

164587.20

162367.20

155587.20

161587.20

Correct Answer:

161587.20

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (4) : 161587.20

Given $P=₹315600$

$n= 3years $

$i = 0.2$

So, $S= 315600 (1-0.2)^3$

$= 315600×(0.8)^3$

$= S= 161587.20$
