A generator worth Rs. 120,000 depreciates by 20% in the first year and by 15% per annum on its reducing value thereafter. What is its value after 3 years?

Correct answer C. Rs. 69,360

Explanation

Value = 120000 × 0.80 × 0.85 × 0.85 = 120000 × 0.578 = Rs. 69,360. Year by year: 120000 → 96000 → 81600 → 69360.
