Which of the following law depict that "Marginal product of a factor input initially rises then after reaching a certain level of employment, it starts falling".

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The Law of Variable Proportions states that when one input is increased keeping others fixed, the marginal product of that input initially rises and, after a certain level of employment, starts falling. MRS relates to indifference curves and decreasing returns to scale applies when all inputs change, so option 3 is correct.
