MCQ Economics Class 12 Chapter 2 Theory of Consumer Behavior Microeconomics Advertisement MCQ’s For All Chapters – Microeconomics Class 12th 1. What is meant by utility of a commodity?Its price in the marketIts want-satisfying capacityIts total quantity availableIts production costQuestion 1 of 202. Why is utility considered subjective?It is always measured in moneyIt is the same for every consumerDifferent individuals may derive different utility from the same commodityIt depends only on market priceQuestion 2 of 203. What does Total Utility represent?Satisfaction from one additional unitTotal satisfaction from consuming a given quantity of a commodityPrice paid for a commodityIncome spent on a commodityQuestion 3 of 204. If total utility from 4 bananas is 28 units and from 5 bananas is 30 units, what is the marginal utility of the 5th banana?1 unit2 units5 units30 unitsQuestion 4 of 205. What happens to marginal utility as consumption of a commodity increases, according to the law of diminishing marginal utility?It always increasesIt remains constantIt declinesIt becomes equal to total utilityQuestion 5 of 206. When does marginal utility become zero?When total utility starts increasingWhen total utility remains constantWhen price becomes zeroWhen demand becomes zeroQuestion 6 of 207. What is the relationship between price and quantity demanded according to the law of demand?PositiveNegativeConstantUnrelatedQuestion 7 of 208. Which axis represents price in an individual demand curve?Horizontal axisVertical axisBoth axesNeither axisQuestion 8 of 209. Why does an individual demand curve generally slope downward?Marginal utility increases with consumptionEach successive unit provides lower marginal utilityIncome always decreasesPrices of all goods remain constantQuestion 9 of 2010. What is an indifference curve?A curve showing different prices of a commodityA curve joining bundles that provide the same level of satisfactionA curve showing changes in incomeA curve showing production levelsQuestion 10 of 2011. Why does an indifference curve slope downward?More of one good must be accompanied by less of the other to maintain the same utilityBoth goods must increase togetherPrices of both goods must fallIncome must remain unchangedQuestion 11 of 2012. What does the Marginal Rate of Substitution measure?The price of a commodityThe amount of one good sacrificed for an additional unit of another good while keeping utility constantTotal income of a consumerTotal expenditure of a consumerQuestion 12 of 2013. What does the law of diminishing marginal rate of substitution state?MRS increases as consumption of a good increasesMRS remains constant for all goodsMRS decreases as the quantity of one good increasesMRS is always zeroQuestion 13 of 2014. What is the usual shape of an indifference curve under diminishing MRS?Concave to the originConvex to the originHorizontalVerticalQuestion 14 of 2015. What is the shape of an indifference curve for perfect substitutes?A straight lineA circleA parabolaA rectangular hyperbolaQuestion 15 of 2016. What is an indifference map?A single demand curveA family of indifference curvesA budget constraintA production scheduleQuestion 16 of 2017. Which bundle is preferred under monotonic preferences?A bundle with less of both goodsA bundle with more of at least one good and no less of the otherA bundle with less of one good and more of the other onlyOnly a bundle with equal quantities of both goodsQuestion 17 of 2018. Why can two indifference curves not intersect each other?They would have the same slopeThey would lead to conflicting utility rankingsThey would become budget linesThey would become vertical linesQuestion 18 of 2019. What is the budget set?All bundles a consumer wants to buyAll bundles a consumer can buy with her income at prevailing pricesOnly bundles costing exactly the consumer's incomeOnly bundles containing one commodityQuestion 19 of 2020. Which equation represents the consumer's budget constraint?p₁x₁ + p₂x₂ = 0p₁x₁ + p₂x₂ ≥ Mp₁x₁ + p₂x₂ ≤ Mp₁x₁ − p₂x₂ = MQuestion 20 of 20 Loading...
