    A. 3 and - 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The cost of one pen is undefined when ...;

    (2x^2 - x - 10) / (x^2 - x - 6) = 1/0 ... then interchange ... by putting the denominator as the numerator and numerator as the denominator on both sides of the equation, which then would give us ...;

    (x^2 - x - 6) / (2x^2 - x - 10) = 0/1

    Which then if simplified it would give us ...;

    ; (x^2 - x - 6) = 0 ... in which we simpilify the quadratic expression,

    ; (x - 3) (x + 2) = 0

    Hence the choices of x ... are then solved by;

    (x - 3) = 0 ... our first choice ... x = 3,

    (x + 2) = 0 ... our second choice ... x = - 2
