Let the value of car be Rs 100 3 years back. After deducting 10% depreciation under WDV (written down value method) it would be 100-10% i.e =100-10 =90. 2nd year again the same processes 90-10%= 81. 3rd year 81-10%=72.9.

Rs.10000/- reduces to Rs.9000/- after one year. Then Rs.8100/- and finally Rs.7290/- after three years.

The current value is Rs. 7290. Say 3 yrs back price was x. Depreciation x*10% or we can say value after depreciation is x*90%. So depreciated value after 3 years= x* 0.9*0.9*0.9 = Rs. 7290. Solving this we get: X= 10,000.
