What will be the above curve called as?

Options:

Indifference curve

Production Possibility Curve

Demand curve

Rectangular hyperbola

Correct Answer:

Production Possibility Curve

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2: Production Possibility Curve

A production possibility curve or Frontier is a graphical representation of the alternative combinations of goods and services an economy can produce considering the limited resources in the economy. In drawing the production possibility curve it is assumed that the economy can produce only two goods and that the quantities of factors of production and the technology available to the economy are fixed. All points on the curve show efficient utilization of resources.
