Final Answer : True, Explanation :  Since the consumer has an income of 10 and can afford to consume some commodity bundles with 5 units of good 1 and 6 units of good 2, we can set up the following equation:10 = 5(F1S1 - F101) + 6(F1S1 + F101)Simplifying, we get:10 = 11F1S1 + F101This means that as long as F1S1 and F101 are chosen such that they satisfy this equation, the consumer can afford to consume 5 units of good 1 and 6 units of good 2. Since we have no restrictions on the values of F1S1 and F101, it is physically possible for the consumer to consume such bundles. The price of good 3 is irrelevant to this calculation. Therefore, the answer is A.
