Answer:

A. 1.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P_1 be the original value of first car,

Since, the car depreciates at an annual rate of  10%,

Let after t_1 years the value of car is depreciated to 60%,

That is,

P_1(1-\frac{10}{100})^{t_1}=60\%\text{ of }P_1

P_1(1-0.1)^{t_1}=0.6P_1

0.9^{t_1}=0.6

Taking ln on both sides,

t_1ln(0.9) = ln(0.6)

\implies t_1=\frac{ln(0.6)}{ln(0.9)}

Now, let P_2 is the original value of second car,

Since, the car depreciates at an annual rate of 15%

Suppose after t_2 years it is depreciated to 60%,

P_2(1-\frac{15}{100})^{t_2}=60\%\text{ of }P_2

P_2(1-0.15)^{t_2}=0.6P_2

0.85^{t_2}=0.6

Taking ln on both sides,

t_2ln(0.85) = ln(0.6)

\implies t_2=\frac{ln(0.6)}{ln(0.85)}

\because t_1-t_2=\frac{ln(0.6)}{ln(0.90)}-\frac{ln(0.6)}{ln(0.85)}

=1.70518303046

\approx 1.7

Hence, the approximate difference in the ages of the two cars is 1.7 years,

Option 'A' is correct.

Which number is not in scientific notation? 9 x 10^19 7.8 x 10^6 1.45 x 10^-7 0.33 x 10^-15
Len [333]
1.45 x 10^-7 isn't in scientific notation because if it's negative, the decimal starts before the first real number, right?
