(2) is correct
Let (A) is correct.
So, cost per unit = 800/16 = ₹50
10. (4)
It is more than 3 times of 16 (as given in Qts.)
Let original no. of sections = x

Again Qts. For option (3)
36x + 12 = (x + 4).30 1st side of right angled  = 8 – 3 = 5
Or 36x + 12 = 30 x + 120 2nd side = 8 – 4 = 4
Or 6x = 108  x = 18 And 3rd side = 8 – 5 = 3
Here ; 5 ; 4 and 3 are making a right angled triangle.
Go by choices
So, 52 = 42 + 32
