For this, The marginal product formula

= increase  in output/ change in input= (y1-y0)/(x1-x0) here, no input is given to find out what the real answer is. 

Why do you need input to find out marginal product ?

Do you think there is logic here which I am unaware of? If you have the answer, please post it here. Txs

I think the answer is 150, leave it. let someone else answer it, I'm not satisfied with your answer, sorry !
