The Value Of An Article Which Was Purchased 2 Years Ago, Depreciates At 12 % Per Annum. If Its Present Value Is Rs .9680, The Price At Which It Was Purchased Is?

Given, $A =$ Rs. $9680, T = 2$ years, $R = 12 %$
$∵ A = P (1 - \frac{R}{1 0 0})$
$9680 = P (1 - \frac{1 2}{1 0 0})^{2}$
$9680 = P (\frac{8 8}{1 0 0})^{2}$
$P = 9680 \times \frac{2 5}{2 2} \times \frac{2 5}{2 2}$
$=$ Rs. $12, 500$
