There are two variable factors in the short run and output is given by y= (min(x1,4x2))1/2 .The cost of factor 1 is $4 per unit and the cost of factor 2 is $2 per unit. In the short run, the industry supply curve is given by:

(a) Q= 100p/9

(b) Q= 100p/8

(c) Q= 600p1/2

(d) the part of the line Q= 50(min(4,8)) for which pQ >400/Q
