Question : The value of a washing machine depreciated from INR 40,960 to INR 21,970 in 3 years. Find the yearly rate of depreciation.
Option 1: 25%
Option 2: 16.25%
Option 3: 18.75%
Option 4: 20%
Correct Answer: 18.75%
Solution : Initial value = INR 40960 Value after depreciation = INR 21970 Time = 3 years Ratio of initial value and final value = $\sqrt[n]{\text{Initial value}}:\sqrt[n]{\text{Depreciated value}}$ = $\sqrt[3]{40960}:\sqrt[3]{21970}$ = $\sqrt[3]{4096}:\sqrt[3]{2197}$ = $16 : 13$ Difference = 16 – 13 = 3 Required percentage = $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Initial value}}\times100=\frac{3}{16}\times100= 18.75\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 18.75%.
