Question

A firm advertises that its juice is '100% pure' when it actually contains only 40% juice and artificial flavouring. Which unethical practice does this represent?

Options

• Misleading advertisements

• Faulty weights

• Duplicate goods

• Overcharging above MRP

Answer 1

Making false claims about a product's qualities in promotion is 'misleading advertisements'. It deceives consumers about what they are buying, unlike adulteration (which involves mixing inferior substances in the product itself).
