Question : Which of the following statements is FALSE? A: All five types of elasticity can be depicted on a linear demand curve.' B: If two demand curves are linear and intersect, the coefficient of elasticity on the different demand curves at the point of intersection will be the same. C: If two demand curves are linear and parallel to each other, the coefficient of elasticity on each demand curve will be different at a given price.
Option 1: Only A correct
Option 2: Only B correct
Option 3: Only C correct
Option 4: A, B, and C all are correct
Correct Answer: Only C correct
Solution : The coefficient of elasticity is the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. As a result, two linear and parallel demand curves will have the same coefficient of elasticity, and price changes will be proportional to changes in the quantity demanded. Hence option C is false.
Question : Which of the statement is correct A: The horizontal summing of the individual demand curves results in the market demand curve. B: The market demand curve is flatter than the individual demand curve.
Question : Which of the following is an assumption made while drawing the demand curve a:The demand curve must be linear b:The price of substitutes should not change c: The quantity demanded should not change d: The price of the commodity should not
Question : The cross-price elasticity of demand is used to determine whether:- a: Product is an inferior or normal good b: A product is a necessity or a luxury c: Two products are substitutes or complements
Question : Which of the subsequent assertions is untrue: a) Higher elasticity number suggests a greater impact of a change in price on the quantity desired. b) Demand elasticities can only fluctuate between -1 and +1. c) Rectangular hyperbola demand curves will exist
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.
