Here are the solutions to questions 6 to 13 in English:

Part 6

Part a· 3 steps

Find the quantity demanded of the commodity before the change in price.

  1. Identify the given values.

    Change in price (ΔP\Delta P) = Rs. −2-2
    Change in quantity demanded (ΔQ\Delta Q) = 10 units
    Price elasticity of demand (EdE_d) = −1-1
    Original price (PP) = Rs. 10
    We need to find the original quantity (QQ).

  2. Use the formula for price elasticity of demand

    Ed=ΔQΔP×PQE_d = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P} \times \frac{P}{Q}
    Substitute the given values:

    −1=10−2×10Q-1 = \frac{10}{-2} \times \frac{10}{Q}
  3. Solve for QQ.

    −1=−5×10Q-1 = -5 \times \frac{10}{Q} −1=−50Q-1 = \frac{-50}{Q} Q=−50−1Q = \frac{-50}{-1} Q=50Q = 50

    The quantity demanded before the change in price was 50 units.

Part b· 3 steps

By what percentage does the demand for the commodity fall?

  1. Identify the given values.

    Price elasticity of demand (EdE_d) = −0.2-0.2
    Percentage increase in price (%ΔP\% \Delta P) = 5%5\%
    We need to find the percentage change in quantity demanded (%ΔQ\% \Delta Q).

  2. Use the formula for price elasticity of demand

    Ed=%ΔQ%ΔPE_d = \frac{\% \Delta Q}{\% \Delta P}
    Substitute the given values:

    −0.2=%ΔQ5%-0.2 = \frac{\% \Delta Q}{5\%}
  3. Solve for %ΔQ\% \Delta Q.

    %ΔQ=−0.2×5%\% \Delta Q = -0.2 \times 5\% %ΔQ=−1%\% \Delta Q = -1\%

    The demand for the commodity falls by 1%.
