4. Assume that fruit-picking can be done by children or adults, but that adults are twice as efficient as children (they pick twice as fast). The production function for fruit-picking is thus Q = 10 X (2LA + Lc) where output is measured in bushels of apples, labour is measured in days, LÃ is the number of days of adult labour, and Lc is the number of days
