(Answer to Q. 1)  B

(Answer to Q. 2)  In the graph, the original equilibrium is at E, where the demand curve and the supply curve intersect. Price is P1 and quantity is Q1. The increase in costs of inputs causes the supply to decrease, shown by a shift of the supply curve to the left (S1). At price P1, there is an excess quantity demanded equal to Q1 - Q3. Price rises to P2, causing quantity demanded to decrease until the new equilibrium at E is reached. The new price is P2 and the new quantity is Q2.
