Solution

The correct option is C

24


The maximum capacity of a shell is given by 2n2.
Now, lets see maximum capacity upto n = 5.
n=12n2=2(1)2=2
n=22n2=2(2)2=8
n=32n2=2(3)2=18
n=42n2=2(4)2=32
n=52n2=2(5)2=50
'n' can only take natural number value
So, 2n2=24 is not possible for any natural number.
