Ans: This bundle maximizes Rajan’s utility‚ because it is on the highest indifference curve he can attain given his income and the prices he faces. The two conditions are i) it is on his budget line‚ so all his money is spent‚ and ii) at this bundle his marginal rate of substitution is equal to the price ratio. c) (2) How many kg of bananas
