Explanation of Solution

All the assumptions taken to form a model are constantly changing in the real world. For instance, in the model of law of demand, effect of price level on demand is explained while keeping all the other factors that may influence demand as constant. While, in the real world, all the factors are constantly changing. Due to this reason, it can be said that models can never be completely realistic.
