Marks: +1, -0
The fuel cost functions in rupees/hour for two 600 MW thermal power plants are given by
Plant 1: C1 = 350 + 6P1 + 0.004 (P1)2
Plant 2: C2 = 450 + aP2 + 0.003 (P2)2
where P1 and P2 are power generated by plant 1 and plant 2, respectively, in MW and a is constant. The incremental cost of power (λ) is 8 rupees per MWh. The two thermal power plants together meet the total power demand of 550 MW. The optimal generation of plant 1 and plant 2 in MW, respectively, are
