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


Solution : When the elasticity is less than one in absolute terms, the demand for a good is said to be inelastic, meaning that changes in price have a minimal impact on the amount demanded. When the elasticity of demand for a good exceeds one, the demand is said to be elastic.
Hence option a is the correct answer.
