Answer

There are three cases: Case I: When demand and supply both increase at the same rate In the given diagram price is measured on vertical axis and quantity demanded and supplied is measured on horizontal axis. Initially, the equilibrium price is OP and equilibrium quantity is OQ. But when "demand and supply both increase at the same rate"then,
  1. Equilibrium price remains constant at OP.
  2. Equilibrium quantity rises from OQ to OQ1.

Case II: When demand increases, supply also increases but at a much faster rate In the given diagram price is measured on vertical axis and quantity demanded and supplied is measured on horizontal axis. Initially, the equilibrium price is OP and equilibrium quantity is OQ. But when "demand increases and supply also increases but at a much faster rate", then,
  1. Equilibrium price falls from OP to OP1
  2. Equilibrium quantity rises from OQ to OQ1.

Case III: When supply increases, demand also increases but at a much faster rate In the given diagram price is measured on vertical axis and quantity demanded and supplied is measured on horizontal axis. Initially, the equilibrium price is OP and equilibrium quantity is OQ. But when "supply increases and demand also increases but at a much faster rate" then,
  1. Equilibrium price rises from OP to OP1.
  2. Equilibrium quantity also rises from OQ to OQ1.
