Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The motorcycle depreciates by Rs. 15,000 every year. After 12 years, its price is Rs. 50,000.

Total depreciation over 12 years:

Total depreciation =15,000×12= 15,000 \times 12

Total depreciation =1,80,000= 1,80,000


Original cost == Current price ++ Total depreciation

Original cost =50,000+1,80,000= 50,000 + 1,80,000

Original cost =2,30,000= 2,30,000

Therefore, the original cost was Rs. 2,30,000.
