In each stage only 10% is passed !!

As we know not a single animal even human is capable of absorbing whole energy present in glucose !! only 45% of energy present in glucose is used by humans in oxidation !!

so now you can understand the whole food web is not as much efficient !! Thus every time 90% energy is lost as a waste , i am not saying it is lost , it is there but organism is not capable of using that !!

Between Points A and C, the steepest part is going down Burr Hill.

I know that, because the contour lines are so close together.

That means your vertical descent is quite steep compared to the distance you cover horizontally.
