How much will firm one sell if it cheats on the cartel

A market has an inverse demand function defined by

Two firms exist in this market that have identical total costs. For firm 1 these are defined by

TC1 = X1 + 0.5X1

with an equivalent definition for firm 2.

(a) If these two firms form a cartel, define the cartel's, marginal cost function.

(b) What is the cartel's profit maximising output and the profit earned?

(c) How much will firm 1 sell if it cheats on the cartel?
