In the above diagram it is noticed that as the increase in demand is
equal to decrease in supply the equilibrium quantity remains
constant at OQ but the equilibrium price increases to .

There are simultaneous changes in both demand and supply. In what
cases the equilibrium quantity will remain constant?
Case-1
