Answer #1

Correct option is (a).

Price floor is binding and effective only when imposed above free market equilibrium price. Here equilibrium price is $50 (at intersection of demand & supply curves), so a floor price of $30 is less than $50 and is ineffective, which will not impact market equilibrium.
