Question 1
Using the concept of plate tectonics, explain the formation of the Himalayan mountain range.
A. The Himalayan mountain range was formed as a result of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.
B. The Himalayan mountain range was formed as a result of the rifting apart of the Indian and Eurasian plates.

Question 2
A firm is producing two goods, X and Y, using two inputs, labor and capital. The production function for good X is given by Q_X = 2L^0.5K^0.5, where Q_X is the quantity of good X produced, L is the amount of labor used, and K is the amount of capital used.
