उत्तर

Let X be the value of the article.

The value of an article decreases for two years at the rate of 10% per year.

The value of the article at the end of the 1st year is

X - 10% of X = 0.90X

The value of the article at the end of the 2nd year is

0.90X - 10% of (0.90X) = 0.81X

The value of the article increases in the 3rd year by 10%.

The value of the article at the end of 3rd year is

0.81x + 10% of (0.81x) = 0.891x

The value of the article at the end of 3 years is Rs. 40,095.

0.891X = 40,095

⇒ X = 45,000

The original value of the article is Rs. 45,000.
