Solution

The value of a car i.e. principal = ₹4,40,000
Rate of depreciation (R%) = 10% per annum
Time period (T) = 3 yr
The value of the car after depreciation in 3 yr is given by
$A = P {(1 - \frac{R}{100})}^{r} = 4, 40, 000 {(1 - \frac{10}{100})}^{3} = 4, 40, 000 \times \frac{9}{10} \times \frac{9}{10} \times \frac{9}{10} = 440 \times 729 = ₹ 3, 20, 760$
