When output of Good - $1$ increases from $100$ units to $110$ units and output of Good - $2$ decreases from $400$ units to $350$ units, marginal opportunity cost = $50$ units.
  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Marginal opportunity cost $= \dfrac{\triangle \,\text{Loss of output of Good - 2}}{\triangle\, \text{Gain of output of Good - 1}} = \left[\dfrac{50}{10} = 5\right]$

Marginal opportunity cost $=5$.
