Suppose a consumer wants just 1 unit of a good and is willing to pay at most

Question:

Suppose a consumer wants just 1 unit of a good and is willing to pay at most $10. Draw the demand curve and calculate the maximum consumer surplus that can be extracted. Suppose that there is a second consumer who also demands just 1 unit and is willing to pay at most $9 . A perfectly discriminating monopoly charges the first consumer $10 and the second consumer $9 . Why is there no consumption inefficiency as occurs in third-degree price discrimination?
