Solution

The depreciation of the car's value can be calculated year by year.

  1. In the first year, the car depreciates by 25%. So, the value of the car after the first year would be 75% of the original value.

    10,00,000 * 75/100 = Rs. 7,50,000

  2. In the second year, the car depreciates by 20%. So, the value of the car after the second year would be 80% of the value after the first year.

    7,50,000 * 80/100 = Rs. 6,00,000

  3. In the third year, the car depreciates by 15%. So, the value of the car after the third year would be 85% of the value after the second year.

    6,00,000 * 85/100 = Rs. 5,10,000

So, the final price of the car after 3 years would be Rs. 5,10,000.
