The correct answer is: "The new equilibrium quantity (after the decrease in supply) is SMALLER".

A supply function represents the quantity of a certain good or service that producers are willing to offer at different price levels. The law of supply states that there is an direct relationship between price and quantity supply (ceteris paribus, hence, given that the rest remains equal).

In this case another factor intervenes, an increase in the costs of production. This scenario shifts the supply curve to the left (as the graph attached shows). The consequences of the shift on the equilibrium point (intersection between demand and supply curves), are <u>the increase in the equilibrium price and the decrease in the equilibrium quantity . </u>

The exercise gives us the information that wheat producers will supply a different amount at each price level.

In economic theory, the supply and demand for a good are adjustable by its price. For example, if price goes up, more producers will offer wheat, but consumers will buy less. With the fall in demand, the price of wheat also lowers.

The same reasoning can be used when increasing the cost of production leads to a decrease in the price of wheat. Demand will adjust to price. As there will be different levels of price, demand behavior will also be varied, up to balance.

For example, the producer initially offered 100kg of wheat at a price of $ 10. If the cost of production has increased, the producer will have two options: to increase the price or to reduce the supply. In the exercise, he prefers to decrease supply. Let's assume that the offer falls to 30kg at a price of $ 10. There will be a choked demand needing wheat.

Thus, with each price increase the producer will offer more. Using hypothetical examples:

If he charges $ 12, he can increase the offer to 60kg

If you charge $ 15,he can increase the offer to 120kg

If you charge $ 50,he can increase the offer to 1000kg

What will happen to the demand in these cases? It will fit the offer. Some consumers will buy when the price is $ 12. Then fewer consumers will buy for $ 15. But if it charges $ 50, maybe no consumer buys! This will cause price decrease, as explained in the Law of Supply and Demand.

Therefore, demand and supply are adjustable. For different prices, there will be different demands.

Why did the sage Agastya turn Tataka into a demon? A. because she wanted to challenge Lord Rama B. because she wanted to control
const2013 [10]

Answer:

C. because she terrorized Agastya and his disciples

Explanation:

A. because she wanted to challenge Lord Rama❌

The account of Sri Rama and Tataka can be seen in the Hindu epic Ramayana. Tataka's father Suketu happens to be a Yaksha king who did Tapas to satisfy Lord Brahma in oder to get an offspring.

Suketu prayed for a son, but Brahma gave him a daughter, wondeful and great in physique. He named her Tataka. Hence, Tataka didn't challenge Lord Raja.

B. because she wanted to control the forest land❌

No! The aftermath of the curse of Agastya, turned Tataka to someone inhabiting the land of Malaja and Karusha in a forest land not far from the river Ganga, against the confluence of the river Sarayu.

C. because she terrorized Agastya and his disciples✔✔✔

The moment, Rishi Agastya cast a spell on Tataka's father Suketu to death. Tataka planned to perform huge revenge on the sage. She had the help of her son, Subahu. This bitter and angered Agastya placed a curse on Tataka to be without her beauty and wonderful physique, and turned her from a beautiful lady to a demonic creature with a with and cannibalistic attributes. The curse worked and turned Tataka to a man-killer with a distasteful and fierce appearance.

D. because Tataka’s husband threatened him❌

She got wedded to Sunda. She was blessed with two sons Maricha and Subahu and a daughter, Kaikasi.

Tataka and Sunda decided to marry off her daughter, Kaikasi to the Rishi Visravas so that her seed can be all-powerful. The account as not instance of Tataka’s husband threatening Visravas, therefore, it is wrong.
