Correct Answer: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True


Solution : Because the demand for a single product that may be used in a variety of ways will be more affected by price fluctuations, demand for the commodity having various applications is elastic demand.
The demand for any good increases with the size of the market's consumer base.
Because demand increases when prices are lower, there are more purchasers in a market.
Hence option d is the correct answer.
