Solution

The correct option is A 9%
As per question
Cost of Plant = Rs 50,000
Useful life = 10 years
Residual value = Rs 5000
Depreciation = Cost-Residual value/Estimated useful life
=50,000-5,000/10
=45000/10
=4500

Also,
rate of depreciation = Annual depreciation/cost of plant x 100
= 4500/50,000 x 100
= 9%
