Q.5 (ii) Observe the given diagram and answer the following questions:

[Figure: Price in ₹ on the Y-axis and quantity demanded in kgs on the X-axis. The original demand curve DD cuts the price line at P to give quantity OQ. At the same price P, a dotted demand curve D1D1 to the right gives a larger quantity OQ1, and a dotted demand curve D2D2 to the left gives a smaller quantity OQ2. Arrows show movement from Q to Q1 and from Q to Q2.]

(1) Rightward shift in demand curve .......... (1)
(2) Leftward shift in demand curve ........... (1)
(3) Price remains ........ (1)
(4) Increase and decrease in demand comes under........ (1)

Best answer

Answer: (1) Increase in demand; (2) Decrease in demand; (3) constant (at OP); (4) changes in demand (shifts in the demand curve)

(1) The shift from DD to D1D1 shows increase in demand: more (OQ1) is demanded at the same price OP.

(2) The shift from DD to D2D2 shows decrease in demand: less (OQ2) is demanded at the same price OP.

(3) Price remains constant at OP.

(4) Increase and decrease in demand come under changes in demand, i.e. shifts of the demand curve caused by factors other than price (income, tastes, prices of related goods, etc.).
