Question # 1 Revisit Given below are an assertion and a reason, Write option A if both assertion and reason are correct and reason statement explain the assertion statement, B if both assertion and reason statements are correct but reason does not explain the assertion, C if assertion statement is correct but reason statement is wrong D if assertion statement is wrong but reason statement is correct, and E if both assertion and reason statements are wrong Also give proper logic for your answer ustifying your choice. Please remember that partially correct logic or just repeating the assertion-reason statements in answer will not get any mark. Assertion: The iterated elimination of strictly dominated strategy requires only the assumption of rationality. Reason: A rational player will never play a strictly dominated strategy. Assertion: In the Cournot duopoly with equal marginal costs, if the total market demand increases, then equilibrium price will decrease. Reason: As demand increases, firms will produce more as a result of which prices will fall
