Let the price of the article, four years age be Rs. 100 in the 1st year, price of the article   = 100 + 30 = Rs. 130. In the 2nd year, price = 130 - 20% of 130   = 130 - 26 = Rs. 104.   In the 3rd year, price = 104 + 10% of 104   = 104 + 10.4 = Rs. 114.40.   But present price of the article is Rs. 2288   for 114.4 ---&gt; 100 ; 2288 ---&gt; ?   Required price = (2288 * 100)/114.4 = 20 * 100 = Rs.2000.   Answer:2000
