Sanjana loves to read books(B) and likes to watch movies(M) as well. She derives double the satisfaction from reading a book than watching a movie. Her utility function is as follows U(B, M) = 2B + M Where B and M are the number of books and movies respectively. a. Explain the shape of the indifference curve using diagrams. b. The income available with her is INR60. And price of movie ticket is INR 10 and that of a book is INR 15. Will she spend her entire budget and why? What will be her consumption, explain why?
