Question

"consumers are exploited in different ways " explain​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Consumers are exploited in the following five ways: Sale of adulterated goods, i.e. addition of inferior substances to the product being sold. Sale of sub-standard goods, i.e. sale of goods which do not confirm to the prescribed quality standards. Use of false weights and measures leading to losses

Answer 2

The Consumers can be exploited by:

1. Selling adulterated/defective goods: Shopkeepers and sellers can sell adulterated goods or defective ones without the knowledge of the consumer. This can be very harmful to the consumers. For example, when juice vendors sell pomegranate juice with artificial colour, they sell adulterated juice.

2. Selling at a price higher than the MRP: It's illegal to sell a commodity at a price higher than the maximum retail price. Consumers can bargain with the shopkeeper to sell it a lower price.

3. Giving the wrong amount: Shopkeepers can weigh the goods using unauthorised weights whose real weight consumer does not know of. This allows the shopkeeper to sell less at more price.
