Solution

The correct option is C 58.4
As only 16 moles of $C l^{-}$ ions undergoes oxidation,( $5 C l_{2}$ is product formed)
n - factor of HCl will be $= \frac{10}{16} = \frac{5}{8}$ (N-factor of an acid is its basicity, in 16 moles of HCl, 10 moles of HCl is consumed)
$Equivalent weight of HCl = \frac{Molar Mass}{n - factor}$

$Equivalent weight of HCl = \frac{36.5}{(\frac{5}{8})} = \frac{8 \times 36.5}{5} = 58.4$
