Solution

The correct option is B9

Marginal revenue refers to the change in revenue or additional revenue which a firm earns on selling a unit more of its output. It is calculated by dividing the change in total revenue by change in total quantity of commodity sold.

Marginal revenue = Change in total revenue/ Change in quantity of commodity sold.

Change in total revenue = Rs. ( 11 x 19 - 10 x 20)

= Rs. (209 - 200)

= Rs. 9

Change in quantity sold = (11 - 10) units

= 1 unit

Marginal revenue = Rs. 9 / 1 unit = Rs. 9.
