Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements best illustrates the principle of diminishing returns in resource allocation?
  • Step 1: Understand what the principle of diminishing returns means. It means that if you keep adding more of one resource (like labor or materials) to a fixed amount of another resource (like land), the extra output you get from each additional unit will start to decrease after a certain point.
  • Step 2: Look at the options provided in the question. Identify which statement describes a situation where adding more of a resource leads to smaller increases in output.
  • Step 3: Choose the option that best illustrates this principle. This will be the one that shows that after a certain point, more of the resource does not lead to proportionate increases in results.
