Multiple Choice

Assume that an individual consumes two goods,X and Y.The total utility (assumed measurable) of each good is independent of the rate of consumption of other goods.The prices of X and Y are,respectively,$5 and $10. $\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text { Units of the GOOd} \\1\\2 \\3 \\4 \\5 \\6 \\7\\8\end{array}\begin{array}{l}\text { Total Utility of } X\\50 \\95 \\135 \\170 \\200 \\225 \\245\\160\end{array}\begin{array}{l}\text { Total Utility of } y\\400 \\750 \\950 \\1100 \\1220 \\1320 \\1400 \\1450 \end{array}\end{array}$
Given the above,if the consumer has $65 to spend on X and Y,the utility-maximizing bundle is

• A)3X and 5Y.
• B)4X and 4Y.
• C)5X and 2Y.
• D)1X and 6Y.
• E)2X and 7Y.
