Consider the following table, which shows the production possibilities of the two countries X and Y
Country X: Cement production (Output of 100 men) = 100; Paint production (Output of 100 men) = 150
Country Y: Cement production (Output of 100 men) = 40; Paint production (Output of 100 men) = 120
Total cement production = 140; Total paint production - 270
It would be more efficient for country Y to export
[1] cement
[2] both cement and paint
[3] paint
[4] none of the two goods
