Correct Answer: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A)


Solution : The rule of demand—the inverse relationship between prices and quantity demanded—is once again demonstrated by the downward slope of the demand curve.
It is due to the law of diminishing marginal utility 
The law of diminishing marginal utility states that all else equal, as consumption increases, the marginal utility derived from each additional unit declines.
Hence a is the correct answer.
