 It is apparent from the schedule that whenever the price of orange is $ 5/- the consumer demands simply one orange. Whenever the price falls to $ 4 he demands for 2 oranges. Whenever the price falls further to $ 3, he demands for 3 oranges. Therefore, whenever the price of a commodity falls, the demand for that commodity rises and vice-versa.
