Answer to Question 1

Suppose there are two kinds of cars available in the used car market: high-quality cars (peaches) and low-quality cars (lemons). All cars look exactly the same but there is asymmetric information; only the seller actually knows whether he has a lemon or a peach. If both peaches and lemons are available, buyers would not be willing to offer a very high price for a used car because there is a chance they are buying a lemon. The owners of peaches might be unwilling to sell at this price and so in equilibrium only lemons are bought and sold.

Answer to Question 2

C
