Answer to Question 1

If the number of efficiency units of labor is constant, an increase in capital stock leads to an increase in output. However, the increase in output is higher if less capital is used in production. Thus, a one unit increase in capital causes a higher increase in output if the capital stock is lower. This implies that the capital stock in Agraria is lower than the capital stock in Industria.
