When a change in the demand for commodity A leads to a change in demand for commodity B in the same direction, demand for A & B is

A.

Competitive demand

B.

Complementary demand

C.

Composite demand

D.

Independent demand

Correct answer is B

Complementary demand occurs when the demand for a particular product leads to the demand for a related but different product. It is also known as joint demand.  For instance, the demand for computer systems would lead to a corresponding demand for software because computers cannot function without software.

When there is a change in the prices of computers, it will also affect the prices of software.
