Question

The relationship between price and demand is positive.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

False. The relationship between price and demand is negative i.e., they are inversely related. By inversely related we mean that as the price of the goods increase the demand of that commodity decreases and vice versa. This because of the law of diminishing marginal utility. According to this law, the utility/satisfaction of the consumer goes on decreasing with every additional consumption of the commodity and hence, the consumer will buy more goods only when the price decreases. Other reasons are income effect, substitution effect, different uses of commodity etc.
