According to the balance of economic resources and unlimited want, effectiveness of labor utilization in labor market can be maximized when condition of equality between wage rate prevailing in the market and marginal rate of substitution between labor and other factors of production is achieved.

So, the condition of maximizing effectiveness in labor market is wage level equals marginal rate of substitution.

The correct answer is the option (3).

Marginal product of labor refers to the increase in total output produced when one additional unit of labor is employed.

So, marginal product of labor is product increase when additional unit of labor is hired.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (1).
