Explanation-
The name 10BASE5 is derived from several characteristics of the physical medium. The 10 refers to its transmission speed of 10 Mbit/s. The BASE is short for baseband signalling and the 5 stands for the maximum segment length

10 base 2 and 10 base 5 , what 5 and 2 refers in this line
10base2 and 10base5
the maximum segment length over the 10base2 network 200 mtrs (max length)
the maximum segment length over the 10base5 network 500 mtrs (max length)

Wrong information
The correct answer is length in 100metres. That means if it is written as 10base2, that means 10MBPS baseband for 200 metres length. Please check wikipedia for more details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE5#Name_origination

Wrong info provided
Number of Segment is wrong answer,
IEEE shorthand identifiers, such as 10Base5, 10Base2, 10BaseT, and 10BaseF include three pieces of information:
The number 10: At the front of each identifier, 10 denotes the standard data transfer speed over these media - ten megabits per second (10Mbps).
The word Base: Short for Baseband, this part of the identifier signifies a type of network that uses only one carrier frequency for signaling and requires all network stations to share its use.
The segment type or segment length: This part of the identifier can be a digit or a letter:
Digit - shorthand for how long (in meters) a cable segment may be before attenuation sets in. For example, a 10Base5 segment can be no more than 500 meters long.
Letter - identifies a specific physical type of cable. For example, the
T at the end of 10BaseT stands for twisted-pair.

10base2 , 10base5.
Answer : Number of Segments.
The name 10BASE5 is derived from several characteristics of the physical medium. The 10 refers to its transmission speed of 10 Mbit/s. The BASE is short for baseband signalling as opposed to broadband, and 5 stands for the maximum segment length of 500 meters.
The name 10BASE2 is derived from several characteristics of the physical medium. The 10 refers to its transmission speed of 10 Mbit/s. The BASE is short for baseband signalling as opposed to broadband, and 2 stands for the maximum segment length of 200 meters.
