An assumption is that as you consume more and more of a good the marginal utils will decrease with every additional unit. Utils measure consumers happiness level. If you had one ice cream you would be very happy, if you had two ice creams you would be happy, if you had three ice creams you would feel like you were getting suck. This demonstrates that with every additional unit of a good, the happiness you get from that additional good is not as much as the happiness that came from the good before.
the criticisma of the law of diminishing marginal utility
As a matter of fact, law of diminishing marginal rate of substitution conforms to the law of diminishing marginal utility. According to law of diminishing marginal utility, as a consumer increases the consumption of a good, its marginal utility goes on diminishing. On the contrary, if the consumption of a good decreases, its marginal utility goes on increasing.
yes
Not possible. Law of Diminishing Marginal utility states that equal additions to a good provide smaller and smaller increases in utility, therefore marginal utility decreases.

In economics, the marginal utility of a good or service is the utility gained (or lost) from an increase (or decrease) in the consumptio...
A consumer buys/consumes a product only if marginal utility derived from it is more than marginal utility of money. As he continues consuming the marginal utility derived from every additional unit goes on diminishing but marginal utility of money remains constant. Both utilities match at a place i.e; where marginal utility of product becomes equal to marginal utility of money the consumer stops consumption thus equilibrium is struck.
