I m sorry to say but both of u r wrong. In this case MRS = 3 Px = 3 Py = 3 So , MRS = Px / Py It means, 3 = 3/3 3 > 1 Means in this situation MRS > Px/Py. It means that to obtain one more unit of X the consumer is willing to sacrifice more units of y as compared to what is required in market. It induces the consumer to buy more of X so MRS falls and continuous to fall till it becomes equal to the ratio of prices and equilibrium is established.

Consumer is not in equilibrium because 1<3. In this situation consumer continue consumption of good X till MRS =MRE

The consumer is in equilibrium when MU=Price A rational consumer prefer those thing which gives him a higher level of satisfaction
