MRSxyA = MRSXY^B  equation leads to Ya = ?

The required efficiency equation is Xa =? 

Suppose further that there are only two individuals in the
economy, A and B, and their utility function is given as:
U(XAYA) = XA0.2YA°0.8 , U(XgYB) = Xg0.8YBO.2 Deriving the
required condition for efficiency (or the contract curve
equation) for consumer A (XA = YA), the MRSXA =
MRSXYB equation leads to YA =
%3D
[ Select ]
The required efficiency equation is XA =
[ Select ]
given that the economy has
10 units each of goods X and Y.
