Question: Two identical generators, working in parallel, with a full load rating of 5 MW . The no - load frequency of generator 1 is 6

Two identical generators, working in parallel, with a full load rating of 5 MW. The no-load frequency of generator 1 is 61.0 Hz with a speed drop of 3.4%. The no-load frequency of generator B is 62 Hz and its speed drop is 3.2%.
If they work together carrying a load of 7 MW,
A) what is the frequency and how is the load distributed on each generator?
B) if the frequency and load distribution is normal, do nothing, but if not, then make the necessary changes to correct it.
C) Which generator loads faster?
