    (B) 300 televisions and 100 radios in Teeveeland and 300 radios and 100 televisions in Radioland

    Explanation:

    Radioland

    Each worker can produce either 4 radios or 1 television

    The country has a total of 100 workers

    By specializing in the goods it has a comparative advantage, Radioland will only produce radios.

    Therefore, the total number of radios it will produce per year

    = 4 radios per worker * 100 workers

    = 400 radios.

    If Radioland trades 100 radios to Teeveeland in exchange for 100 televisions each year, Radioland will end up with

    = 400 radios - 100 radios (to Teeveeland) + 100 televisions (from Teeveeland)

    = 300 radios + 100 televisions in Radioland.

    Teeveeland

    Each worker can produce either 2 radios or 4 televisions

    The country has a total of 100 workers

    By specializing in the goods it has a comparative advantage, Teeveeland will only produce televisions.

    Therefore, the total number of televisions it will produce per year

    = 4 televisions per worker * 100 workers

    = 400 televisions.

    If Teeveeland trades 100 televisions to Radioland in exchange for 100 radios each year, Teeveeland will end up with

    = 400 televisions - 100 televisions (to Radioland) + 100 radios (from Radioland)

    = 300 televisions + 100 radios in Teeveeland.
