    Tool 2: VT0.3 = 300
    where V is cutting speed in m/minute and T is tool life in minutes. The break even cutting speed beyond which Tool 2 will have a higher tool life is ________ m/minute.

    VT 0.1 = 150
    VT 0.3 = 300
    For break even cutting speed,
    3ln150 – 3ln V – ln 300 – ln V
    V = 106.66 m/ min

    Correct Option: A

    VT 0.1 = 150
    VT 0.3 = 300
    For break even cutting speed,
    3ln150 – 3ln V – ln 300 – ln V
    V = 106.66m/ min
