Sending wishes to you 😊 Work hard.... Work Better....  Keep learning.... Keep Improving.... Questions for Practice: 1. Suppose the price of a commodity falls from ₹6 to ₹4 per unit and due to this quantity demanded of the commodity increases from 80 units to 120 units. Find out the price elasticity of demand Solution: Following information is given:   Q = 80 units   Q 1 = 120 units   ΔQ =Q 1 -Q       =120-80       = 40   P = ₹6   P 1 = ₹4 ΔP = P 1 -P      = 4-6      = -2                                              E d =?   Note :   (-) negative sign is prefixed to the formula because price and demand are inversely related. Doing this would bring the value of elasticity of demand
