The utility function of a consumer is u = 3(x₁ + x₂), where u, x₁ and x₂ denote utility, amount of good 1, and amount of good 2 respectively. Unit prices of good 1 and good 2 are Re 1 and Rs 3 respectively. Consumer's income is Rs 300. The consumer attains equilibrium at (A) x₁ = 150; x₂ = 50 (B) x₁ = 50; x₂ = 150 (C) x₁ = 0; x₂ = 100 (D) x₁ = 300; x₂ = 0
Also written as: The utility function of a consumer is u = 3(x_1 + x_2), where u, x_1 and x_2 denote utility, amount of good 1, and amount of good 2 respectively. Unit prices of good 1 and good 2 are Re 1 and Rs 3 respectively. Consumer's income is Rs 300. The consumer attains equilibrium at
