Solution

Let the original cost of the machine = Rs. 100
Depreciation during 1st year = 10% of Rs. 100 =Rs. 10
value of the machine at the beginning of 2nd year =Rs.100Rs.10=Rs.90
Depreciation during 2nd year =10
Now, when depreciation during 2nd year = Rs. 9, original cost =Rs.100
when depreciation during 2nd year =Rs.2,250,
original cost =Rs.1009×2,250=RS.25,000 Ans.
