• A. Rs. 100000
• B. Rs. 150000
• C. Rs. 200000
• D. Rs. 250000

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The correct option is C Rs. 200000
Let the value of machine 2 year ago is x
Then$x\times \frac{90}{100}\times \frac{90}{100}=162000$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{162000\times 100\times 100}{90\times 90}$
$\Rightarrow x=200000$
