Seems like a simple plugin question to me, y=2x^2
If you can see y would be the larger value, hold that as reference and start plugging in values for x. I tend to start from middle values when given in ascending order.
In the first try i.e x=5, you see y turns out to be 50, which is a value available to us.
The author has tried to introduce some ambiguity by mentioning model of diminishing returns, kindly ignore (I did).
Happy GMATing!!
