Q1-Select the true or false for the following statement also give the explanation and support your answer with graphical presentation where necessary. Explanation is compulsory 3 to 6 line. Two indifference curves can intersect each other. If total utility at optimum level marginal utility is negative. If government imposes price ceiling on goods “X” the result is excess supply and shortage of demand for goods “X”. Consumer budget line cannot touch axis. In perfectly inelastic goods and services change in price equal to change in quantity demand.

Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices If the more is better assumption is satisfied, the marginal utility from consuming the second unit must be greater than the marginal utility from consuming the first unit. Marginal utility is the slope of total utility. If the more is better assumption is satisfied, total utility will increase as consumption increases. Marginal utility may be negative.
