Question : The price of the table depreciates every year by 20%. If the value of the table after 2 years will be Rs. 32,000, then what is the present price (in Rs.) of the table?

Option 1: 48,000

Option 2: 44,000

Option 3: 50,000

Option 4: 51,000

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 50,000


Solution : Let the present value be $x$.
Value after 2 years = $x × (1-\frac{R}{100})^2$, where $R$ is the rate.
$32000 = x × (1-\frac{20}{100})^2$
⇒ $32000 = x × (\frac{4}{5})^2$
⇒ $32000 = x × (0.8)^2$
⇒ $x = \frac{32000}{0.64}$
$\therefore x= 50,000$
Present value
