If a_(LX)/a_(LY) and a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) are the opportunity costs of producing X in terms of Y in countries A and B, and p_X/p_Y is the international price ratio of X to Y. Both the countries will go for complete specialization when 1. a_(LX)/a_(LY) < p_X/p_Y < a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) 2. a_(LX)/a_(LY) = p_X/p_Y < a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) 3. a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) = p_X/p_Y < a_(LX)/a_(LY) 4. p_X/p_Y < a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) < a_(LX)/a_(LY) (A) a_(LX)/a_(LY) < p_X/p_Y < a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) (B) a_(LX)/a_(LY) = p_X/p_Y < a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) (C) a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) = p_X/p_Y < a_(LX)/a_(LY) (D) p_X/p_Y < a′_(LX)/a′_(LY) < a_(LX)/a_(LY)
