Given Data:

Initial price = Rs. 2,50,000

First year depreciation = 10%

Second year depreciation = 15%

Concept:

Final Value = Initial Value × (1 - Depreciation Rate)n

Calculation:

Value after first year = Initial Price × (1 - First Year Depreciation Rate)

⇒ Value = 2,50,000 × (1 - 10/100) = Rs. 2,25,000

Value after second year = Value after First Year × (1 - Second Year Depreciation Rate)

⇒ Value = 2,25,000 × (1 - 15/100) = Rs. 1,91,250

Hence, the value of the car after 2 years will be Rs. 1,91,250.
