Sumit has Rs. 90000 with him. He purchases three items, A, B, and C, for Rs. 15000, Rs. 13000, and Rs. 35000, respectively and puts the remaining money in a bank deposit that pays compound interest at 15% per annum.

Thus, he invests Rs $$90000-15000-13000-35000=27000$$ in a compound interest scheme. 

After 2 years, he sells off the three items at 80% of their original price. Thus, the price of items after 2 years is Rs $$0.8\times63000=50400$$

After 2 years, the value compounded will be $$=27000\times\left(1+\frac{15}{100}\right)^2=35707.5$$

Total value after 2 years = Rs 86107.5

%age decrease $$=\dfrac{86107.5-90000}{90000}\times100=-4.325\%$$
