Indifference between Karim's Bundles H and D

An individual is evaluating different combinations of daily free time and consumption. They determine that the combination of 15 hours of free time and $520 of consumption gives them the exact same level of satisfaction as the combination of 20 hours of free time and $240 of consumption. Based on this, which of the following combinations would most likely also provide this same level of satisfaction?

A student argues that if an individual is indifferent between two bundles of goods (consumption and free time), such as Bundle X (16 hours free time, $300 consumption) and Bundle Y (17 hours free time, $250 consumption), then the individual must be making an irrational choice because Bundle X contains more money. Is this student's argument correct?

An individual is evaluating different combinations of daily free time and consumption.
