Correct, option A is the correct answer. The word "settled" in the sentence implies that the authorities have come to a decision or agreement on a matter. In this case, they have settled on the number of pages (32) that will be included in the next answer book for the undergraduate courses. Therefore, the appropriate word for blank (i) would be "on", as in "Authorities settled on 32 pages"
