This equation  says that the marginal rate of substitution in  consumption must be equated with the marginal rate of transformation.

If the marginal utility of X is relatively high  (relative to Y),  then we want the marginal product of K  in  production of Y  to be relatively low (relatilie  to the marginal product of K  in Y). The reason  is  that  if we  get more utility  from consumption  of X  at the margin, we must  be willing to  allocate relatively more K  to its production.

The marginal condition is satisfied because of the tangency condition between the community indifference curve and the PPF. That is,

MRTS (X for Y) = MRPT (X  for Y).

If you  consider shifting one unit of K  from  the production of X  to that of Y, then using PPF we get
