Question : When all other factors influencing demand are held constant, the cross elasticity of demand quantifies how much the quantity required of a good responds to changes in the .
Option 1: Income of the consumer
Option 2: Price of the commodity
Option 3: Price of the other commodity
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: Price of the other commodity
Solution : The cross elasticity of demand measures how much a good must be produced in reaction to changes in the price of the other item, holding all other demand-inducing variables constant. Hence option c is the correct answer.

Option 2: It measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price.
Option 3: It measures the responsiveness of demand to changes in income.
