Inferior goods are goods that the consumer in a sense does not need to continue using. In other words, he buys it because it's cheap. So if the price increases, he will find the next cheapest item and switch to it.
Also, if your income rises, you may feel that the inferior good is "too cheap" for you and switch to something more expensive.
As an example, you buy internet from Verizon because of the cheap cost. If Verizon raises their rates, then you may switch to Comcast.

How is price and quantity demanded related?
As a general rule, as the price level increases the quantity demanded will decrease, and vice versa. If the good or service is inelastic (e.g. a necessity or necessary to survival) a change in price will affect the quantity in a less than proportionate manner. That is, if there is a increase in price, the quantity demanded will increase only a small (if any) amount. If the good or service is elastic (e.g. luxury items) a change in price will affect quantity demanded more than proportionately. So if the the price increases, quantity demanded will decrease a large (more than proportionate) amount.

What factors determine whether a good is classified as an inferior good, and how does consumer behavior change when the price of an inferior good decreases?
Inferior goods are classified based on consumer behavior, specifically when demand for the good decreases as consumer income increases. When the price of an inferior good decreases, consumers may choose to buy more of it because they perceive it as a cheaper option compared to other goods. This change in consumer behavior is driven by the inverse relationship between the price of the good and consumer demand.

Examples of substitute goods include butter and margarine or tea and coffee.
Can two goods be inferior?
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.
