The correct answer is option 2: Both the statements are false.
Statement 1: False
- When increase in demand is more than increase in supply, there is excess demand in the market.
- This leads to an increase in equilibrium price as buyers compete to purchase the limited available quantity.
- Since price does not remain unchanged but rather increases, this statement is incorrect.
Statement 2: False
- Increase in demand shifts the demand curve to the right.
- Increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right, not left.
- The statement incorrectly mentions leftward shift in supply, which is wrong because supply increases, meaning it shifts rightward.
- The correct version should be: "When increase in demand is more than increase in supply, rightward shift in demand will be more than rightward shift in supply."
- Since the statement uses incorrect terminology, it is also false.
