The function of the relationship between the cost (c) and the revenue (x) is the equal to $$c(cost)= bx+a$$. If the revenue is increased by $1,000, by how many dollars did the cost increase? 1) a=10 2) b=20 _________________ "Be challenged at EVERY MOMENT." “Strength doesn’t come from what you can do.

1) a=10
2) b=20

St I
a=10, has no direct link with the revenue(x) --------Insufficient

St II
b=20,
so c(new_cost) = b(new_revenue)+a
=> c(new_cost) = b(x+1000)+a
=> c(new_cost) = bx +1000*b +a
=> c(new_cost) = 1000*b + bx +a
=> c(new_cost) = 1000*b + c(cost)
=> c(new_cost) = 1000*20 + c(cost)
=> c(new_cost) = 20000 + c(cost) ---------Sufficient

Hence option B is correct
