Correct Answer: Rs. 10240
Solution :
Given: The value of the car depreciates by 20% each year.
After the first year, the car's value will be 80% of Rs. 20000 = $\frac{80}{100}\times20000$
= Rs. 16000
After the second year, the car's value will be 80% of Rs. 16000 = $\frac{80}{100}\times16000$
= Rs. 12800
After the third year, the car's value will be 80% of Rs. 12800 = $\frac{80}{100}\times12800$
= Rs. 10240
Hence, the correct answer is Rs 10240.
