Trade-offs are alternatives that must be given up when one choice is made rather than another.

Question 19 options:

True

False

Answer: True. Explanation: Trade-off concerns the existing conflict or dilemma in making choices. For example, if you have $ 10 and have two alternatives: buy a pair of pants or a pair of shoes; and you choose the shoe, there is a dilemma, that is, a conflict of choice between the pants and the pair of shoes, in which you stopped buying the pants and opted for the pair of shoes. This conflict is called trade-off, in which solution of one alternative (purchase of the pair of shoes) culminates in the non-solution of another alternative (purchase of the pants).

A trade-off is a situational decision that involves diminishing or losing one quality, quantity or property of a set or design in return for gains in other aspects. In simple terms, a tradeoff is where one thing increases and another must decrease.
