CONCEPTS OF INDIFFERENCE CURVE

INDIFFERENCE CURVE : 
                                           An indifference curve is a graph that shows a combination of                                                   two goods that give a consumer equal satisfaction and utility,                                                  thereby  making the combination different.

                                        >  The slope of the indifference curve is called the marginal rate of                                          substitution , which declines as the quantity of X increases relative to                                      the quantity of Y.

                                         In economics, the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) is the rate at                                     which a consumer can give up some amount of one good in exchange                                   for another good while maintaining the same level of utility. At                                                 equilibrium consumption levels.

FOR EXAMPLE
                             In a summer day , i went to purchase mango in a market but i saw their                                 grapes so i bought 1 kg mango and 1 kg grapes because i was to buy 2                                 kg mango but suddenly i mind change and selected another                                                   fruits(grapes), which gives me the same satisfaction .
