Detailed Solution

It is given a property valued at Rs. 30000 will depreciate Rs. 1380 the first year, Rs. 1340 the second year, Rs. 1300 the third year, and so on.
The value of depreciation each year can be written as shown below,
1380, 1340, 1300, ……
From this, we get that the numbers are in an AP with first term 1380 and common difference –80.
So, we get
a = 1380, d = –40.
 We know that nthterm of an AP is given as,
an=a+(n-1)d So, the value deprecated in the 8th year will be,
a8=1380+(8-1)×(-40)
a8=1380+7×(-40) a8=1380-280 a8=1100
Therefore, the depreciation in the value of property will be, Rs.1100.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
