Correct Answer: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Option A: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Statement 1 is true. Consumer surplus represents the additional satisfaction gained by consuming a good. It is the difference between the price a consumer is willing to pay for a good and the price they actually pay.

Statement 2 is false. Consumer surplus is not calculated by finding the difference between the total utility and the marginal utility of the last unit consumed. It is based on the difference between the willingness to pay (which is determined by the consumer's demand curve) and the actual price paid.
