Answer is 0.
Solution:
MRS=delta(x2)/delta(x1)
Good 1 is neutral it means that little change in delta(x2) makes infinity change in delta(x1). It means delta(x1)= infinity => MRS=0

If good 1 is neutral,what is its marginal rate of substitution for good 2
marginal rate of substitution
In economics, the marginal rate of substitution can be determined by calculating the ratio of the marginal utility of one good to the marginal utility of another good. This ratio represents the rate at which a consumer is willing to trade one good for another while maintaining the same level of satisfaction.
Marginal rate of substitution tends to decrease with passage of units consumptions.
Yes. The height of an indifference curve is the marginal rate of substitution.
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.
