when u employ an extra worker u have to pay him a higher wage in order to attract him bt u have to increase the wages of previous workers as well so that equality is maintained otherwise they might riot...so basically the formula to find the total marginal cost is
new total wage bill minus previous total wage bill=marginal cost
(X multiply by 31 minus 40 multiply by 30)=102
here they ask u to find the additional rise so our X is the new wage rate when u compare it the difference is two
X=42 previous was 40 so it shud increase by 2 dollar hence A is the answer :)

thanks a lot...
