Question : What is the name of the law that causes the demand curve to slope downward?
Option 1: Consumer equilibrium
Option 2: Utility minimization
Option 3: Utility maximization
Option 4: Diminishing marginal utility
Correct Answer: Diminishing marginal utility
Solution : Law of diminishing marginal utility:-
The marginal utility of a commodity decreases as the quantity of goods increases, according to this principle. As a result, as the quantity increases, prices fall while demand rises. As a result, when prices are lower, consumers will demand more goods. As a result, the demand curve slopes downward.
Hence d is correct answer.

Question : The first law of thermodynamics is simply the case of:
Option 1: Charle's law
Option 2: Newton's law
Option 3: The law of heat exchange
Option 4: The law of conservation of energy
Correct Answer: The law of conservation of energy
Solution : The correct option is The law of conservation of energy.
The law of conservation of energy is used in the first law of thermodynamics. According to it, energy can only alter its form and cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system. According to thermodynamics, this implies that energy can be exchanged between different forms (such as heat, work, or potential energy) but the overall amount of energy within a closed system remains constant.

Option 4: Gustav Robert Kirchhoff
Correct Answer: Gustav Robert Kirchhoff
Solution : The correct option is Gustav Robert Kirchhoff.
Kirchhoff's Current Law, formulated by Gustav Kirchhoff, states that at any junction (or node) in an electric circuit, the algebraic sum of the currents entering the junction is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents leaving the junction.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
As legend has it, Rome was founded in 753 B.C. by Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Mars, the god of war. They had been left to drown in a basket on the Tiber River by a king of a nearby region and were rescued by a she-wolf. The twins lived to defeat that king and founded their city on the river's banks in 753 B.C. After killing his brother, Romulus became the first king of Rome, which is named after him. A line of Sabine, Latin, and Etruscan (earlier Italian civilisations) kings followed in a non-hereditary succession.
Rome's era as a monarchy ended in 509 B.C. with the overthrow of its seventh king, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, whom ancient historians portrayed as cruel and tyrannical, compared to his benevolent predecessors. Rome has now turned from a monarchy into a republic.
The power of the monarch passed to two annually elected magistrates called consuls. They also served as commanders-in-chief of the army. The magistrates, though elected by the people, were largely the descendants of the original senators from the time of Romulus. In 450 B.C., the first Roman law code was inscribed on 12 bronze tablets-known as the Twelve Tables—and publicly displayed in the Roman Forum. These laws included issues of legal procedure, civil rights, and property rights and provided the basis for all future Roman civil laws. By around 300 B.C., real political power in Rome was centered in the Senate.
Question:
Rome became a republic in _____.
Option 1: 509 B.C.
Option 2: 450 B.C.
Option 3: 753 B.C.
Option 4: 300 B.C.
Correct Answer: 509 B.C.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation: The passage explicitly states: "Rome's era as a monarchy ended in 509 B.C. with the overthrow of its seventh king," signifying the transition from a monarchy to a republic. This date marks the shift in Rome's governance from a monarchy ruled by kings to a republic, where power shifted to elected magistrates and the Senate.
Therefore, the correct answer is: that Rome became a republic in 509 B.C.
Question : According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, as a consumer consumes more of a good:
Option 1: The total utility derived from the good increases at a decreasing rate.
Option 2: The marginal utility derived from the good increases at a decreasing rate.
Option 3: The total utility derived from the good decreases at a decreasing rate.
Option 4: The marginal utility derived from the good decreases at a decreasing rate.
Correct Answer: The marginal utility derived from the good decreases at a decreasing rate.
Solution : The correct answer is (d) The marginal utility derived from the good decreases at a decreasing rate.
According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, as a consumer consumes more of a good, the marginal utility derived from the good decreases at a decreasing rate.
As a consumer consumes more units of a good, the additional satisfaction or utility obtained from each additional unit decreases. This means that the marginal utility, which is the additional utility gained from consuming one more unit of the good, decreases. However, it's important to note that the total utility can still increase as long as the marginal utility is positive, but it increases at a decreasing rate.
