Correct Answer: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).


Solution : Demand elasticity is higher for durable commodities.
Compared to the market for non-durable goods, the demand for durable goods is more erratic. In the field of economics, durable goods are those that continue to provide consumers with services for a number of years to come. Additionally, they can be kept in storage for longer periods of time due to their durability.
Hence option a is the correct answer.
