Answer:

Jason Vs Kevin

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason and Kevin are both good sportsmen and thrive well in football and basket ball. Jason can score 3 goals in one match of football and Kevin can score 5 goals in one match of same game. Jason can make 15 baskets in one basketball game and Kevin can make 20 in same game.

From the above Kevin has absolute advantage in both games as he can score more goals in football and make more baskets in basketball than Jason. However Kevin has a comparative advantage in basketball as his opportunity cost is higher here and Jason should therefore be left to play football.
