Solution

The correct option is A Rs. 8.45

Marginal revenue refers to the change in revenue or additional revenue which a firm earns on selling a unit more of its output. It is calculated by dividing the change in total revenue by change in total quantity of commodity sold.

Marginal revenue = Change in total revenue/ Change in quantity of commodity sold.

Change in total revenue = Rs. ( 31 x 9.95 - 30 x 10)

= Rs. (308.45 - 300)

= Rs. 8.45

Change in quantity sold = (31 - 30) units

= 1 unit

Marginal revenue = Rs. 8.45 / 1 unit = Rs. 8.45.
