A company produces 'x' units of geometry boxes in a day. If the raw material of one geometry box costs ₹2 more than the square of the number of boxes produced in a day, the cost of transportation is half the number of boxes produced in a day, and the cost incurred on storage is ₹150 per day. The marginal cost (in ₹) when 70 geometry boxes are produced in a day is:
