Diminishing marginal returns means that the utility from a good keeps declining as you consume an additional unit of the good. Your utility will decline from each additional burger you eat after the first unit (even if it is your favorite food)

Q.33)

A restaurant charging lower prices for senior citizens is an example of price discrimination as the same product is being sold at different prices.

An airline charging more for first-class than economy class is an example of price discrimination. This is a form of group discrimination where the business is divided into multiple groups, but all consumers within a group are charged the same price

An online retailer selling at different prices due to differences in shipping cost is not an example of price discrimination. This is product differentiation as the cost structure is changing for different buyers.

A theater charging lower prices day shows than night is an example of price discrimination.It is an example of product versioning, selling slightly different products/services for price discrimination
