After having celebrated his brother’s birthday, Max makes his way to Fuchsia city, to take a boat to Cinnabar Island. The sailor, Mr. Hendricks, is however in a dilemma. There is a castle in the middle of the sea on the way to Cinnabar Is land. Owing to issues, he needs to bribe each and every soldier with 10 PokéDollars to pass through. He is not sure of the number of soldiers in the main towers due to the new rules that have been imposed. He seeks Max’s help. In the castle, there are passways as straight row and column (passways are the dark grey strips) at any point when you see left or right or up or down . Also there are some magical tunnels joining one stop (stops are the places where troops of soldiers stand) to the other in a non-straight manner. The magic of the tunnel is clon- ing the soldiers. If you place any number of soldiers in one stop, then all stops joined to it through the tunnel will have same number of cloned soldiers. Cloned soldiers can also be cloned if there is one more. Number of soldiers at any stop in any row or column are more than one and sum of all soldiers at all stops in any row or column is same. Every stop is marked a number from 1 to 6 and stops in any row or column have different numbers. Soldier troop with ‘x’ number of soldier will stand on the stop marked as ‘x’. There are some soldier having all time duty and they are depicted in the figure with their positions. But fearing for safety, the king increased the security and ordered to place a soldier on every stop in the above way of his convenience. The circle in the middle represents the main tower and Max has to find the number of extra soldiers. The answer is ________
A. 62
B. 64
C. 66
D. 68
