    given below C(w, r, q) = 0.5q(w+r) where q is output, w is the cost of labour l and r is the cost of capital k.  Find out the production function for the firm
    A Q = 0.5L0.5K0.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Q = 2L+2K Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Q = min(2L,2K) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
