Budget = $ 200
Price of apple = $ 1
Price of melon = $ 2
The marginal rate of substitution can be determined as follows
That is we can substitute 2 apple with 1 melon. But here it is given we consume 50 apples and 50 melon. Thus, the given combination is inefficient.
Or, we are consuming 50 apples and 50 melon. Total cost of basket = 50 × 1 + 50 × 2 = $ 150
Therefore, we are not maximizing our utility.
Last option is correct.
Implies an inefficient solution.
