I agree @Tanvisehgal.
If a polymer is made up of 10 glucose molecules since total of nine H2O molecules will also be liberated due to dehydration during the process of polymerization.

Because dehydration is involved water molecules are to be removed i.e 12 * 10 = 120,
120 - 18 = 102 hydrogen.
60 - 9 = 51 oxygen.
120 - 18 = 102 hydrogen.
60 - 9 = 51 oxygen.
