In a particular region, there are two lakes rich in fish. The quantity of fish caught in each lake depends on the number of persons who fish in each according to Q1= 10N1-.1N1^2 and Q2=16N2-.4N2^2 where N1 and N2 denote the number of fishers at each lake. In all, there are 40 fishers.

Suppose N1=16 and N2=24. At which lake is the average catch per fisher great? In the light of this fact, how would you expect the fisher to re-deploy themselves?
