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.
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 : Because demand for one good rise when the price for the substitute good rises, the cross elasticity of demand for substitute goods is always positive. Hence A is correct but R is false.
So, correct option is "C".
Question : Assertion (A): Cross demand is positive in the case of substitute goods.
Reason (R): A drop in demand for particular commodity results from an increase in the price of substitute commodities.
Question : Assertion (A): Complementary goods are demanded simultaneously to satisfy a particular want. Reason (R): Complementary goods have joint demand
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.
Question : Assertion (A): Complementary goods have joint demand. Reason (R): In order to fulfill a specific need, complementary commodities are simultaneously desired.
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.
