2. Number Cards: There are 25 people sitting around a table, and each person has two cards. One of the numbers 1, 2, 3, , 25 is written on each card, and each number occurs on exactly two cards. At a signal, each person passes one of her cards the one with the smaller number to her right-hand neighbor. Prove that, sooner or later, one of the players will have two cards with the same numbers. 3. Airplane: Imagine...

An individual only purchases two goods X and Y . The person has an income of $100. The price of X is $2 per unit and the price of Y is $4 per unit. The utility function of this individual is U = 3X +5Y . This means the person has a constant marginal utility of 3 and 5 for goods X and Y , respectively. What bundle of goods X and Y should the person buy to maximize utility....
