Solution

The correct option is B 10
+7
Ba(MnO4)2Ba2++2MnO4
2Mn2+
Ba being most electro positive element does not get reduced to Ba, thus only MnO4 gets reduced to Mn2+ as it always does in acidic medium.

And since compound has 2 atoms of Mn in it so, its' n factor is given by,
(Change in oxidation number per atom)×(Number of atoms per molecule or formula unit of the given reagent)
=5×2=10
