Suppose an Individual buys 15 units of good when its price is Rs 5 per unit. What will happen to his demand when price of the good increases to Rs 7 per unit and elasticity of demand for the good is 0.5

Solution

Correct Option: 3

Since the price rises from Rs 5 to Rs 7 and elasticity of demand is 0.5 (positive), the law of demand applies: a rise in price reduces quantity demanded. So the individual will reduce his demand.
