Dear student, 

A consumer attains equilibrium at the point where, 
MUxPx=MUyPyAccordig to the given situationMUxPx=10020=5MUyPy=40100=0.4So, MUxPx>MUyPySo, the consumer is consuming too much of pizza and too little coke. 
This is because the MU of rupee spent on pizza is much less than the MU of rupee spent on coke. And as we already know the MU follows the law of diminishing marginal utility, therefore, from here we can say that the consumer must be consuming more of pizza due to which the MU of rupee spent on pizza has come to this low.
