the demand curve question right?
eliminating options:

A -- demand is price inelastic when the price of goods is low-- think about a match box and a laptop
B -- will only occur if the demand is price elastic
C-- The slope of a straight-line demand curve, one with a constant slope, has constantly changing elasticity. It includes all five elasticity alternatives--perfectly elastic, relatively elastic, unit elastic, relatively inelastic, and perfectly inelastic in order. No two points on a straight-line demand curve have the same elasticity.
D -- naa due to above reason

ans C

well the table shows that there has been an increase in price of few goods and all are greater than the CPI. The CPI is a measure of the average change in prices thus the CPI being less at 2.5% means that the rise in price of other goods (except the ones in table) are lower than 2.5%.

B is a real confusing option...:/


XACTLY...AT FRST GUESSES U MYT ALMOST TOTALLY B CONVINCED IT IS DA ANSWER... :/ WE GOTA MEMORIZE SUCH QUESTIONS TO AVOID FALLIN IN2 TRAPS... :/

A change can be both increase or decrease..

be sure that A and D are out... while C is correct, I don't see much wrong with B either... ahh its just one of the bad mcqs that is hard to make sense

@ahsan99

Q13; since its an agriculture market, u're assuming that supply fluctuates. so after govt imposes that min price supply has increased to form the equilbrium at the price marked (horizontal btween y & z). and therefore the area within is your ans!
