Options:

10 years

6 years

5 years

8 years

Correct Answer:

5 years

The correct answer is Option (3) → 5 years

$\text{Depreciation per year} = \frac{\text{Cost of Asset - Scrap value}}{\text{Useful Life}}$

$\text{Useful Life}=\frac{1,50,000-35,000}{23,000}$

$=\frac{1,15,000}{23,000}=5$ Years
