Correct Answer: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Option A: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

Statement 1 is true. Consumer surplus represents the difference between the price a consumer is willing to pay for a good and the price they actually pay. It measures the economic benefit that consumers receive from purchasing a good at a price lower than what they are willing to pay.

Statement 2 is false. Consumer surplus does not directly reflect the additional satisfaction or utility gained by the consumer from purchasing the good. It is a measure of economic welfare rather than a direct measure of satisfaction or utility.
