But the people having money can buy it. I agree, so indeed. Conclusion 1 follows.

I think the reason Answer I does not follow is that "soar" and "rare" are not definitive. If the prices "soar" it doesn't necessarily mean vegetables are unobtainable. If vegetables are "rare" it doesn't mean that every vegetable will be auctioned off among the billionaires. (Bill Gates and Warren Buffett playing poker to win the last carrot on Earth would be funny!).

@Twincle.
"vegetables are becoming a rare commodity" means they are available in the market but in less quantity. And if supply is less the price will increase.

I think the statement 'people cannot eat vegetable' is the same as 'all people cannot eat vegetables' which is clearly false. People cannot eat cars, vegetables we can eat.

Economies are always affected by political (e.g Corruption, Ujjwal mentioned, non-capitalist poltical economies), socio-cultural (fads), and regional (high avg socioeconomic status in a locality) factors that could impact price. While this would be consistent with given correct answer, the question leaves something to be desired because this level of analysis is sophisticated and non-intuitive for anybody familiar with a law (supply vs Demand) so fundamental to market economics as to be virtually mathematical in its logic.

I think the first assumption is correct. The prices increase when there is less supply or when there is more demand - both of these indicate that the commodity is rare.

In my opinion only conclusion I is correct. Rich people, vegetable vendors and farmers will eat them otherwise the available vegetable will be wasted.

If vegetables are much quantity available in market then purchaser are in less numbers, automatically it's prices are become very low. The same vice verse, that implicit I is correct.

I think statement 1 follow because it says that vegetable price raising. I think vegetable price raising when it's stoke is very short or production very short in this reason I can say 1 is follow because if people can't eat vegetable as a result of it vegetable stoke getting huge henceforth price getting down. Why price getting up?
