Detailed Solution

\large \mathop {}\limits_{At{\text{ }}equilibrium} \,\mathop A\limits_{15M} + \mathop B\limits_{15M} \rightleftharpoons \mathop C\limits_x
\large {K_C} = \frac{{\left[ C \right]}}{{\left[ A \right]\left[ B \right]}} = \frac{x}{{225}}{M^{ - 1}} \to \left( 1 \right)

Volume of vessel is doubled, concentrations become halved.

\large \therefore \left[ A \right] = \frac{{15}}{2}M = \left[ B \right];\left[ C \right] = \frac{x}{2}

But according to Lechatelier's principle increase in volume favours reaction involving increase in numberr of moles. Thus reaction proceeds in backward direction at new equilibrium is attained.

At new equilibrium, [A] = 10M

At new equilibrium, [C] decreases whereas [A] & [B] increases

Due o doubling of volume [A] must be 7.5 M but it is given that [A] = 10 M

Increase in concentration of 'A' is 2.5 M and increase in concentration of 'B' must be 2.5 M

Decrease in concentration of 'C' must be 2.5 M

At new equilibrium

\large \therefore \mathop {A(g)}\limits_{\left( {7.5 + 2.5} \right)M} + \mathop {B(g)}\limits_{\left( {7.5 + 2.5} \right)M} \rightleftharpoons \mathop {K(g)}\limits_{\left( {\frac{x}{2} - 2.5} \right)}
\large {K_C} = \frac{{\left( {\frac{{x - 5}}{2}} \right)}}{{\left( {10} \right)\left( {10} \right)}} \to \left( 2 \right)
\large \because

Temperature is constant, KC remains constant.

\large \therefore

Comparing (1) & (2)

\large \frac{x}{{225}} = \frac{{x - 5}}{{200}}
\large \frac{x}{9} = \frac{{x - 5}}{8}
\large 8x = 9x - 45
\large \boxed{x = 45}
\large \therefore

[C]eq in original equilibrium = x = 45 M
