My main doubt is should we just treat two markets separately and solve the question.
In such a case , p=7, q=3 in monopoly market; price =5 in export market is horizontal and is more than marginal cost =4. So firm would supply all output to export market.
Is this reasoning correct? Or is something more involved in this question.

let q1 be the qunatity in the foreign mkt and q2 be the output sold in the domestic mkt..

Hence the reqd solution is 6q1+ (10-q2)q2 -4(qi+q2) subject to q1+q2<100...now you can solve this using lagrangean9kahn tucker conditions)

i think they wud sell 5 units in the domestic mkt and 5 units in the 95 units in the foreign..cuz at prices less than 5(thats at q >5 ,the price in the foreign mkt is more)....

Did you mean 5q1 + (10-q2)q2 - 4(q1+q2) because export price is 5
