Solution:
It is given that each set $\text{A}_\text{j}(1\leq\text{i}\leq30)$ contains 5 elements and $\bigcup\limits^{30}_\text{i = 1}\text{A}_\text{i}=\text{S}.$
$\therefore\text{n(S)}=30\times5=150$
But, it is given that each element of S belong to exactly 10 of the Ai's.
$\therefore$ Number of distinct elements in $\text{S}=\frac{150}{10}=15......(1)$
It is also given that each set $\text{B}_\text{j}(1\leq\text{j}\leq\text{n})$ contains 3 elements and $\bigcup\limits^{\text{n}}_\text{j = 1}\text{B}_\text{j}=\text{S}.$
$\therefore\text{ n(S)}=\text{n}\times3=\text{3n}$
Also, each element of S belong to eactly 9 of Bj's.
$\therefore$ Number of distinct elements in $\text{S}=\frac{\text{3n}}{9}......(2)$
From (1) and (2), we have
$\frac{\text{3n}}{9}=15$
$\Rightarrow\text{n} = 45.$
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
