What are monotonic preferences?

उत्तर
It means that the consumer prefers a particular bundle over the other bundle if the former consists of at least more of one good and no less of the other good. Example:
If bundle A(3, 5) and bundle B(3, 2) are available to the consumer, then he/she will prefer bundle A over bundle B as bundle A consists of more units of good 2 than bundle B.
