In a production function q=f(x1,x2)q = f(x_1, x_2)q=f(x1​,x2​) where the firm produces q output using x1x_1x1​ of factor 1 and x2x_2x2​ of factor 2. Now suppose the firm decides to increase the employment level of both the factors t (t > 1) times. then which among the following is correct?

Options

  1. A

    f(tx1,tx2)>tf(x1,x2)f(tx_1, tx_2) > t f(x_1, x_2)f(tx1​,tx2​)>tf(x1​,x2​) i.e. constant returns to scale.

  2. B

    f(tx1,tx2)<tf(x1,x2)f(tx_1, tx_2) < t f(x_1, x_2)f(tx1​,tx2​)<tf(x1​,x2​) i.e increasing returns to scale.

  3. C

    f(tx1,tx2)<tf(x1,x2)f(tx_1, tx_2) < t f(x_1, x_2)f(tx1​,tx2​)<tf(x1​,x2​) i.e decreasing returns to scale.

  4. D

    f(tx1,tx2)=tf(x1,x2)f(tx_1, tx_2) = t f(x_1, x_2)f(tx1​,tx2​)=tf(x1​,x2​) i.e decreasing returns to scale.
