Answer and Explanation:

Given that

Number of hours taken to produced a car by German worker is 400 hours

In case of wine he takes 2 hours

And, the Number of hours taken to produced a car by French worker is 600 hours

In case of wine he takes X hours

Based on the above information, the values of X gains from trade is based on the opportunity cost so in this there is a competitive advantage occurs so in this case the values should be other than 3 as 600 hours ÷ hours = 300 hours

Hence, the values should be other than 3
