Solution

We have \[10\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}\right)^{-1}\] \[\implies 10\cdot\left(\frac{5}{10}+\frac{2}{10}+\frac{1}{10}\right)^{-1}\] \[\implies 10\cdot\left(\frac{5+2+1}{10}\right)^{-1}\] \[\implies 10\cdot\left(\frac{8}{10}\right)^{-1}\] \[\implies 10\cdot\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{-1}\] \[\implies 10\cdot\frac{5}{4}\] \[\implies \frac{50}{4}\] \[\implies \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{25}{2}}\ \blacksquare\]
