Solution

The correct option is D
₹2,56,000

Present value of the car ( $P_{o}$ ) = ₹5,00,000
Rate of depreciation = 20%
By formula,
$P_{n}$ = $P_{o}$ $(1 - \frac{R}{100})^{n}$
Value of car after 3 years = $5, 00, 000$
$\times$ $(1 - \frac{20}{100})^{3}$
= 5,00,000 $\times$ $(1 - \frac{1}{5})^{3}$
= 5,00,000 $\times$ $(\frac{4}{5})^{3}$
= ₹2,56,000
