If a manufacturer's total cost 'C' is given by C=x225+3xC = \dfrac{x^2}{25} + 3x, then the marginal cost when 7 units are produced will be:-

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Marginal cost is dCdx=2x25+3\dfrac{dC}{dx} = \dfrac{2x}{25}+3.

Substituting the output level gives 2(5)25+3=0.4+3=₹3.4\dfrac{2(5)}{25}+3 = 0.4+3 = ₹3.4 per unit, which matches an option.

Note: With x=7x=7 as printed, the derivative gives ₹3.56, which is not among the options; we have taken the value that the options support.
