Question
Define utility. Explain the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility.
✓

Answer

Utility refers to the amount of satisfaction derived from consumption of a good.
As consumer goes on consuming more and more units of a good, utility obtained from consuming each extra unit goes on falling. Ultimately it may become zero or even negative. This is the law of diminishing marginal utility.
