A consumer has \(\mathrm{N} 100\) of income to spend on goods \(X\) and 1 \(\mathrm{Y}\). The price of \(\operatorname{good} \mathrm{X}\) is \(\mathrm{N} 10\), and the price of \(\operatorname{good} \mathrm{Y}\) is \(\mathrm{N} 2\). Which of the following combinations of \(X\) and \(Y\) are not affordable?
A. \(10 \mathrm{X}\) and \(0 \mathrm{Y} \quad\) B. \(6 \mathrm{X}\) and \(25 \mathrm{Y} \quad\) C. \(4 \mathrm{X}\) and \(20 \mathrm{Y} \quad\) D. \(5 \mathrm{X}\) and \(25 \mathrm{Y}\)
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
6 units of \(X\) will cost N60 i.e. \(10 \times 6\) and 25 units of \(Y\) will cost \(+450\) i.e. \(2 \times 25\). This is unattainable because he only has \(\mathrm{N} 100\)
