Options:

x = ₹2500, y = ₹27,500

x = ₹13,750, y = ₹3000

x = ₹16,250, y = ₹13,750

x = ₹13,750, y = ₹16,250 

Correct Answer:

x = ₹13,750, y = ₹16,250 

Explanation:

$\text {Amount of depreciation (x)} = \frac{\text{Cost of Machine - Scrap Value of Machine}}{|Life in years} = \frac{30000-2500}{2} = 13,750$

$ y = 30,000 - 13,750 = 16,250$
