Can someone tell me how to do this?
Answer is B. O/N/2012 - P33

It says utility from the fifth kg of bananas is twice that of 10th kg of apples. So, assuming the marginal utility from apples to be x, we know that of bana is 2x. Now, calculating mu/p of both the fruits, we have 0.8x for banana wheras 1x for apples. So, purchase of apples would increase and that of bananas will fall. :)

Like you've done: multiplier(k)= 1/(.15+0.3+0.05)=2
Change in national income =50,000-40,000=10,000
So change in govt spending= change in national income/k=10000/2=5000
Therefore, govt. has to raise its spending to 15,000+5,000=20,000. :)
(*finally, i am able to solve someone's doubt.)
but how do you know this? is it in the book? :/
'govt spending= change in national income/k'
