Explanation
The law of variable proportions or diminishing returns, as stated above, holds good under the following conditions:
Under law of variable proportions, different units of variable factor can be combined with fixed factor,
This law applies to the field of production only,
The effect of change in output due to change in variable factor can be easily determined,
The state of technology is assumed to be constant during the operation of this law,
It is assumed that, factors of production become imperfect substitutes of each other beyond a certain limit,
It is assumed that all variable factors are equally efficient
Hence, correct answer is option D.
Law of Variable Proportions is the law to examine the production function with one factor changeable, keeping the quantities of other factors fixed. In other words, it refers to the input-output relation when output is increased by changing the quantity of one input.
Better utilization of the fixed factor the supply of the fixed factor is too large, where variable factors are too few. It results in increased effectiveness of variable factor and indivisibility of unchanging factor.
Thus, the correct option is B.
