Inferior goodA good for which an INCREASE(decrease) in consumer income will lead to a DECREASE(increase) in demand for that good.Normal GoodA good for which an INCREASE(decrease) in consumer income will lead to a INCREASE(decrease) in demand for that good.
goods whose demand falls as consumer income increases
A consumers income can affect their demand for most goods, for normal goods if the consumers income increases then there is a demand for more normal good, but a fall in income would cause a shift to the left for the demand curve, this shift is called a decrease in command. For inferior goods, an increase in income causes demand for these goods to fall, inferior goods are goods that you would buy in smaller quantities, or not at all, if your income were to rise and you could afford something better.
A good that decreases in demand when consumer income rises; having a negative Income increases will thus affect the consumption of these goods.
The factors that affect consumer spending are: Size of Income, Future Expenditures, and Social Influences.

if consumers are receiving a low income then
if the consumer`s income changes it will influence the budget line and it will shift to the right.
No,two goods cannot be inferior at the same time.We know that the demand for the inferior goods decreases with increase in income. suppose the income increases, to compensate this increase and to satisfy the new budget line and with the assumption that the consumer is rational,the amount of any one of the good must increase so as to leave the consumer with a bundle on his new budget line .If both the goods are inferior then the amount demanded of both these goods would decrease thus violating the axiom of revealed preferences. even if they are one of the good would be relatively more inferior to the other.
The answer depends on what is being compared: the income of the same consumer at different stages of their life or the income of a consumer compared with other consumer.
inferior
A consumer's lifestyle mainly depends upon following factors: Income Marital status Culture Social group & Buying power. Any change in one of them changes the behaviour of consumer. From Raja Khan
chnage in consumer's equilbrium due to change in income of the consumer..known as income effect.
