B z correct though d theory had been proved wrong through d increase in technology n machine which increases food production.

Division of labour, mobility of labour n international trade had also help in increasing d quantity of food produced making d theory unreleastic.

Rev. Thomas mathus proposed that in the future food would be produce at aritmetric progression rate that is 1,2,3... While population would increase at geometric rate i.e 2,4,6... There by makink the population to out grow subsistence means.

d corect answer is 36,cos 36 is d price at whi d guantity of guds demanded is egual to d guantity suplied,that is,qd=40-2p nd 6p +24,let pick 1 4 instance as d price,so qd=40 -2(1) =38; qs=6( 1)+24=30,move to d nxt price ie 2,qd=40-2(2)=36,qs=6(2)+24=36.so d equilibriun prce is 36
