law of diminishing marginal utility
Answers
I hope it helps you........
Your Answer:-
Statment Of The Law :-
The Law of Diminishing Marginal utility states that as the amount consumed of a commodity increases, the utility derived by the consumer from additional units (marginal utility) goes on decreasing. A consumer pays a price which is equal to the marginal utility of the commodity. Therefore, a utility-maximising consumer will purchase a large amount of a commodity only when its price falls because the marginal utility from additional units falls. It satisfies tha Law of Demand which states that other things remaining the same, price of a commodity increases then the demand will decrease and when the price decreases the demand for the commodity will increase.

Note:-
The more of a commodity we consume the total utility increases but it's marginal utility decreases.
