Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options:

A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

Correct Answer:

A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3) : A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

List I List II
A. Nominal goods IV. Demand for the good increases as income of consumer increases
B. Inferior goods II. Demand for the good decreases as income of the consumer increases
C. Substitute goods III. These goods are used in place of each other
D. Complementary goods I. These goods are consumed together

 

Let's break down the matches :

A-IV : Normal goods have a direct relationship with income; as income increases, demand for normal goods increases.

B-II : Inferior goods have an inverse relationship with income; as income increases, demand for inferior goods decreases.

C- III : Substitute goods are used in place of each other, so they are consumed together.

D-I : Complementary goods are consumed together; the demand for one is related to the demand for the other.
