Solution

If a consumer's income increases, it generally leads to a shift in the demand curve, not just a movement along the existing demand curve. This is because an increase in income usually increases the purchasing power of the consumer, allowing them to buy more at all price levels, not just at the current price. Therefore, the correct answer is "There will be a change in demand."

Suppose in a market, there is a change in the price of a good or service. Let’s call this Scenario A. Now, suppose in the same market, there is a change in the income and preferences of customers, or a change in the prices of other goods or services. Let’s call this Scenario B. From the options given below, choose the statement that correctly captures how changes in demand will occur in both of these scenarios. In Scenario A, the demand curve remains fixed, whereas the price and the quantity demanded shift to a different point on the same curve, i.e., we observe a movement observed along a fixed demand curve. In Scenario B, the demand curve itself changes. There is a change in the quantity demanded at the same price, due to which the market shifts to an altogether different demand curve. In Scenario A, the demand curve itself changes. There is a change in the quantity demanded at the same price, due to which the market shifts to an altogether different demand curve.In Scenario B, the demand curve remains fixed, whereas the price and the quantity demanded shift to a different point on the same curve, i.e., we observe a movement observed along a fixed demand curve.In Scenario A, the demand curve itself changes.
