    Question



    When the price of a good X rises, the demand for substitute good Y will:

    A.

    Rise

    B.

    Fall

    C.

    Remain unchanged

    D.

    Falls initially and then rises

    Correct option is A


    When the price of good X increases, consumers are likely to switch to substitute good Y, resulting in a rise in demand for good Y. This is an example of the substitution effect in economics.
    Information Booster
    1. The substitution effect occurs when a rise in the price of one good encourages consumers to purchase a substitute good.
    2. This is a basic principle of demand elasticity in economics.
    3. Complementary goods would see a fall in demand if the price of the original good rises, but substitutes see the opposite effect.
