प्रश्न
Distinguish between substitute goods and complementary goods, with examples.
उत्तर
The difference between substitute goods and complementary goods is given as follows:
| Basis | Substitute Goods | Complementary Goods |
| Definition | Substitute goods refer to those goods that can be consumed in place of each other. | Complementary goods refer to those goods that are consumed together. |
| Relationship with Price | In the case of substitute goods, if the price of one good increases, the consumer shifts his demand to the other (substitute) good i.e. rise in the price of one good results in a rise in the demand of the other good and vice-versa. | In the case of complementary goods, if the price of one good increases then a consumer reduces his demand for the complementary good as well, i.e. a rise in the price of one good results in a fall in demand of the other good and vice-versa. |
| Examples | Tea and coffee, Colgate and pepsodent, cello pens and Reynolds pen | Tea and sugar, ink pen and ink, printer and paper |

The quantity of a commodity that a consumer is willing to buy and is able to afford, given the prices of goods and the consumer's tastes and preferences is called demand for the commodity. Whenever one or more of these variables change, the quantity of the good Chosen by the consumer is likely to change as well. The relation between the consumer's optimal choice of the quantity of a good and its price is very important and this relation is called the demand function. Thus, the consumer's demand function for a good gives the amount of the good that the consumer chooses at different levels of its price when the other things remain.
