F1(Pg1)=0.1aPG12+40PG1+120Rs/hr
F2(Pg2)=0.2PG22+30PG2+100Rs/hr
Incremental cost, IC1=dPG1dF1=0.2aPG1+40
IC2=dPG2dF2=0.4PG2+30
0.2a × 175 + 40 = 0.4 × 115 + 30
a = 1.028
Now, P1′+P2′ = 175 + 115 = 290 mW
a' = 1.1 × 1.028 = 1.1308
F1 = 0.1 × 1.1308P12′ + 40p1′ + 120
F2 = 0.2P12′ + 30P2 + 100
IC1 = 0.226p1′ + 40
IC2 = 0.4P2′ + 30
For optimal load, IC1= IC2
0.226p1′ + 40 = 0.4p2′ + 30
0.226p1′ - 0.4p2′ = -10 ...(i)
P1′+P2′ = 290
p1′ = 169 MW
p2′ = 121 MW
So, P1 decreases
F when P1 = 175 MW and P2 = 115 MW
F1 = 0.1 × 1.028 × 1752 + 40 × 175 + 120 = 10268.2 Rs/hr
F2 = 0.2 × 1152 + 30 × 115 + 100 = 6195 Rs/hr
F = F1 + F2 = 16463 Rs/hr
F1′ = 0.1 × 1.1308 × 1692 + 40 × 169 + 120 = 10109.6
F2′ = 0.2 × 1212 + 30 × 121 + 100 = 6658.2
F' = F1′ + F2′ = 16767.8 Rs/hr
So, F increase
Hence, the correct option is (A).
