Match the items of List-I with the items of List-II : Codes : (a) (b) (c) (d)List-I List-II (a) Law of diminishing marginal utility (i) Cross demand (b) Relationship between price of one commodity and demand for other commodity (ii) Oligopoly (c) Skimming the cream policy (iii) Cardinal approach (d) Price rigidity (iv) Pioneer pricing
(iii) (i) (iv) (ii)
(a) Law of diminishing marginal utility – (iii) Cardinal approach: the law belongs to the Marshallian utility analysis, which assumes that utility can be measured in cardinal numbers (utils). So (a) matches (iii).
(b) Relationship between price of one commodity and demand for other commodity – (i) Cross demand: cross demand studies how the quantity demanded of one good responds to a change in the price of a related good (a substitute or a complement). So (b) matches (i).
(c) Skimming the cream policy – (iv) Pioneer pricing: skimming is a pricing policy for a new product, where the pioneer firm fixes a high introductory price to skim the top layer of buyers before competitors enter. So (c) matches (iv).
(d) Price rigidity – (ii) Oligopoly: under oligopoly the few interdependent sellers avoid price changes, and the kinked demand curve explains why prices stay sticky. So (d) matches (ii).
The matching is (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii).
Hence, the answer is (iii) (i) (iv) (ii).
