Question

Can an indifference curve be downward sloping in one​ section, but then bend backward so that it forms a​ "hook" at the end of the indifference curveLOADING...​? An indifference curve A. cannot form a hook because it then would be upward sloping. B. cannot form a hook because . C. can form a hook as long as it does not intersect other indifference curves. D. can only form a hook if . E. can form a hook as long as it is not thick.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. cannot form a hook because it then would be upward sloping.

Explanation:

As in the case when the indifference curve slopes upward so the consumer would be indifferent that lies between the two bundles that generate more of the consumption goods

Now in case when the curve is hook sloping upward so the preference of the consumer could violate the assumption i.e. the more it is , the better it is

Therefore the option A is correct
