Shivang,

It has been expected from the consumer that he should define the marginal utility of money on his own. This is because whenever consumer buy goods from a rupee, that defined Marginal utility of money will be considered his benchmark reference. For example - suppose 200 gms of rice, 100 gms of chilly powder and 300 gms of flour can be purchased with a rupee and the consumer derives total utility from the consumption of these goods as 20 utils, then marginal utility of money will be 20.
