CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Each year the value becomes 80% of the previous year's value.

  2. Value = 600000×0.8×0.8=600000×0.64=₹3,84,000600000 \times 0.8 \times 0.8 = 600000 \times 0.64 = ₹3{,}84{,}000.

Worth noting

₹3,60,000 subtracts 20% of the ORIGINAL price twice. ₹2,16,000 is the total loss in value, not the value.
