Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Rs. 2, 30,000

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Total depreciation} = \text{Annual depreciation} \times \text{Years} \) \( \text{Total depreciation} = 15000 \times 12 = 180000 \) \( \text{Original cost} = \text{Final price} + \text{Total depreciation} \) \( \text{Original cost} = 50000 + 180000 = 230000 \)
