Q economics is the science of scarcity and choice. Elucidate.

Robbins definition of economics:

                    ‘’Economics is the science that studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses’’

Robbins definition is based on:

Multiplicity of wants
Scarcity of means

In other words, robbins definition says that:

The ends are unlimited
The means to achieve those ends are unlimited
The means are capable for alternative uses.

Multiplicity of wants 

As a matter of fact, never comes to an end . they are always unlimited. As soon as one wants is satisfied another comes forward.

Scarcity of means :

                               It refers to the limited resources due to which economics problems arise but if the resources were unlimited, then consequently there would have no economics problems.

Selection urgency of wants:

It is obvious that some of the wants are more urgent for us as compared to other, Naturally, we go to satisfy our urgent needs/ wants first and then the remaining ones.

Alternative uses:

According to the robbins definition, all the scars means are capable of alternative uses. I.e: they can be put to a number of uses. E.g water can be used for drinking as well as for cooking.

Human science:  

 According to him, economics is the study of human behaviour as a whole both within and outside the society.
