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      .
                                                                                             1



                       Case-2

                              If the decrease in demand is equal to increase in supply, then the
                              equilibrium price will decrease but the equilibrium quantity will
                              remain constant.

                              If decrease in demand is equal to decrease in supply then the
                              equilbrium price will remain constant but the equilibrium quantity
                              will fall.
