Correct Answer: INR 1,800


Solution : The correct answer is (A) INR 1,800

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) represents the change in consumption resulting from a change in disposable income. In this case, the MPC is given as 0.9.

To calculate the increase in consumption resulting from a change in disposable income, we can multiply the change in disposable income by the MPC.

Given: MPC = 0.9

Change in disposable income = INR 2,000

Increase in consumption = MPC * Change in disposable income

Increase in consumption = 0.9 * 2000

Increase in consumption = 1800

Therefore, the increase in consumption is INR 1,800.
