Assuming that only two goods the consumer consumes are X and Y, the conditions of equilibrium are:

(i) MU_x/P_x= MU_y/P_y =MU_m

(ii) MU falls as more is consumed.

(a) Suppose MU_x/P_x> MU_y/P_y. The consumer will not be in equilibrium because per rupee MU of X is greater than per rupee MU of Y. This will include the consumer to buy more of X by reducing expenditure on Y. It will lead to fall in MU_x and rise in MU_y. This will continue till MU_x/P_x=MU_y/P_y.

(b) Unless MU falls as more of a good is consumed the consumer will not reach equilibrium.
