Correct Answer: 3,150


Solution : Current value = 6250
Value after 1 st year (decrement of 10%) = 6250 – $\frac{10}{100}$ × 6250
= 6250 – 625 = 5625
Value after 2 nd year (decrement of 20%) = 5625 – $\frac{20}{100}$ × 5625
= 5625 – 1125 = 4500
Value after 3 rd year (decrement of 30%) = 4500 – $\frac{30}{100}$ × 4500
= 4500 – 1350 = 3150
Hence, the correct answer is 3,150.
