Question : Assertion: A consumer maximizes utility by consuming goods until the marginal utility per unit of money spent is equal across all goods.

Reason: The consumer aims to allocate their budget in a way that maximizes their overall satisfaction.

Option 1: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

Option 2: Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Option 3: The assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Option 4: The assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Question : Assertion (A): The demand curve shows the inverse relationship between the own price of a good and its quantity demanded.
Reason (R): Law of diminishing marginal utility advocates that consumer gets lesser satisfaction for each additional unit consumed

Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A)

Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation
of Assertion (A)

Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False

Option 4: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True

Question : Assertion: The marginal rate of transformation (MRT) measures the opportunity cost of producing one additional unit of a good.

Reason: MRT reflects the production possibilities curve (PPC) slope and shows the trade-off between two goods.

Option 1: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.

Option 2: Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Option 3: The assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Option 4: The assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Question : Assertion: The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as a consumer consumes more of a good, the additional satisfaction derived from each additional unit of the good decreases.

Reason: This occurs because the consumer's needs and wants for the good are limited.

Option 1: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.

Option 2: Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Option 3: The assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Option 4: The assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Question : Assertion: The demand curve demonstrates the inverse relationship between a good's own price and the number of units sought.
Reason: According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, consuming more units leads to lower consumer satisfaction.

Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A)

Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation
of Assertion (A)

Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False

Option 4: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True
