Question

Abhinav derives total utility of 11 utils after consuming 4 mangoes and 9 utils after consuming 6 mangoes.

What is his marginal utility on consuming the 6^th mango?

पर्याय

• 1 util

• 21 utils

• 10 utils

• −1 util

Answer 1

−1 util

Explanation:

Given:

Total utility after consuming 4 mangoes = 11 utils

Total utility after consuming 6 mangoes = 9 utils

Change in Total Utility:

ΔTU = 9 − 11

= −2 utils

Change in Quantity:

ΔQ = 6 − 4

= 2 mangoes

Now, calculating the Marginal Utility:

`MU = -2/2`

= −1 utils

Thus, Abhinav’s marginal utility on consuming the 6^th mango is −1 utils, indicating disutility or dissatisfaction.
