Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A Complementary good is a product or service that adds value to another. In other words, they are two goods that the consumer uses together. For example, cereal and milk, or a DVD and a DVD player. On occasion, the complementary good is absolutely necessary, as is the case with petrol and a car.

Detailed explanation-2: -The demand for a normal good increases if income increases. The demand for an inferior good decreases if income increases. Expected future income and expected future prices influence demand today. For example, if the price of a computer is expected to fall next month, the demand for computers today decreases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Typical examples of inferior goods include “store-brand” grocery products, instant noodles, and certain canned or frozen foods. Although some people have a specific preference for these items, most buyers would prefer buying more expensive alternatives if they had the income to do so.
