Indifference Group Indifference Map Indifference Aggregate Market Map 8 / 21 ________ is a curve which represents all those combinations of two goods which give same satisfaction to the consumer. Indifference Curve Iso-Utility Curve Equal-Utility Curve All of the above 9 / 21 A point below the budget line of a consumer ________.

Represents a combination of goods which costs more than the consumers’ income. 10 / 21 Which of the following statements is incorrect? An indifference curve must be downward-sloping to the right. Convexity of a curve implies that the slope of the curve diminishes as one moves from left to right. The income elasticity for inferior goods to a consumer is positive.
