Question : Assertion (A): Luxury goods often have a high price elasticity of demand. Reason (R): When the price of luxury goods rises, their demand falls significantly because they are only used for urgent purposes.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True
Correct Answer: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Solution : Since the proportionate change in the amount requested for luxury goods is greater than the proportionate change in the price of luxury goods, the elasticity of demand for luxury products is greater than one. Hence option c is the correct answer.
Question : Assertion (A): Demand elasticity is higher for durable commodities. Reason (R): Demand for durable goods can be postponed once they are demanded at present.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Question : Assertion (A): Demand elasticity is higher for durable commodities. Reason (R): Once durable items are in high demand now, their demand can be delayed.
Question : Assertion (A): Cross demand is positive in the case of substitute goods. Reason (R): A drop in demand for particular product results from a rise in the price of substitute goods.
Question : Assertion: In the case of inelastic demand, the degree of price elasticity is less than one. Reason: Proportionate change in demand is less than proportionate change in price.
Question : Assertion (A): Demand elasticity is greater than one below the demand curve's midpoint on a straight line with a downward slope. Reason (R): The demand elasticity on a linear demand curve ranges from zero to infinity.
