Given information:
- Number of units produced = 10
- Average total cost = Rs. 200
- Fixed cost = Rs. 500
To find out the component of average variable cost in the total cost, we need to calculate the average variable cost first.
Average variable cost (AVC) = Total variable cost / Number of units produced
Total cost = Total fixed cost + Total variable cost
Average total cost (ATC) = Total cost / Number of units produced
Since we know the value of ATC and fixed cost, we can calculate the value of total variable cost.
Total cost = Total fixed cost + Total variable cost
ATC * Number of units produced = Fixed cost + Total variable cost
Rs. 200 * 10 = Rs. 500 + Total variable cost
Total variable cost = Rs. 1500 - Rs. 500
Total variable cost = Rs. 1000
Now, we can calculate the value of AVC.
AVC = Total variable cost / Number of units produced
AVC = Rs. 1000 / 10
AVC = Rs. 100
Therefore, the component of average variable cost in the total cost is Rs. 150 (ATC - AVC).
Answer: Option (c) Rs. 150.

Well lets solve this step by step.. So lets start Given:- Output =10 units ATC= Rs 200 TFC=Rs 500 AVC=? To find out AVC we should frst find out AFC As we know TFC=AFC* units i.e 500=AFC *10 So,AFC=Rs 50 Also,AFC=ATC- AVC So, AVC =200-50 =Rs 150 Hence, average variable cost is Rs 150...
