Answer 1

Answer:

Apart from rights, there are certain duties of a consumer. Consumer should be conscious of his duties. He should make pur­chases judiciously and should not misuse his rights. Following are the duties of consumers:

1. Buying quality products at rea­sonable price.

It is the responsibility of a consumer to buy a product after having a thorough knowledge of its price and quality. He should enquire about the price from 2-3 shops and if possible from government stores to get an idea of its price. He can have the knowledge about the quality from his own experiences, from the experiences of other persons and through the medium of advertisement. Hence it is the duty of the consumer to buy quality product at right price only.
