A load centre is at an equidistant from the two thermal generating stations G1 and G2. The fuel cost characteristics of the generating stations are given by F1 = a + bP1 + cP²1 F2 = a + b P2 + 2cP²2 Where P1 and P2 are the generation in MW of G1 and G2, respectively. For most economic generation to meet 300 MW of load, P1 and P2 respectively, are

• C.  175, 125
• D.  100, 200

Answer: (B)
