X_1 = \frac{M}{2p}
Given \(p = 10\):

X_1 = \frac{M}{20}

When \(p\) falls to 5:

X_1' = \frac{M}{10}

Change in quantity demanded:

\Delta X_1 = \frac{M}{10} - \frac{M}{20} = \frac{M}{20}

Change in price:

\Delta P = 10 - 5 = 5

Consumer surplus:

CS = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{M}{20} \times 5 = \frac{5M}{40} = \frac{M}{8}

Answer:

CS = \frac{M}{8}
