Answer:
Marginal utility of X = 3 Price of X = 2 Marginal utility of Y = 3 Price of Y= 1 \[MUx\div ~Px=3~\div 2=1.5\] \[MUy~\div Py=3~\div 1=3\] The ratio of Marginal utility to the price of good Y is more than the ratio of marginal utility to the price of good X. Hence, the consumer is not in an equilibrium and to reach equilibrium level, the consumer should increase the consumption of Y and decrease the consumption of X.
