Answer:
Total Utility and Marginal Utility Schedule for Commodity X
Now we know that a consumer consuming one commodity is at equilibrium when \[\frac{M{{U}_{X}}}{M{{U}_{M}}}={{P}_{X}}\] The given condition will be fulfilled when the consumer is consuming 4th unit, because at this level of consumption, \[\frac{3}{1}=3\] i.e. 3=3 So, consumer should consume 4 units of commdity X to maximise satisfaction.
