    b) inelastic

    Explanation:

    Elasticity of demand measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demand to a change in price. This index indicates what the percentage change in quantity demand would be with a given % change in price.

    Elastic demand

    A product is said to be price elastic if a change in price produces more than a proportional change in quantity. In such case, a reduction in price will increase revenue ... It is a good pricing policy to reduce price if the demand for a product is established to be price elastic.

    Inelastic demand

    Inelastic.

    Explanation:

    Elasticity of demand for a particular product is a measure of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the product. Generally when price increases there is a decrease in the quantity demanded of a product.

    When demand is elastic it gives normal results.

    However when demand is inelastic an increase in price will not lead to a proportional decrease in demand.

    The Broadway play company can increase prices and notice a low reduction in quantity demanded (that is from a full theatre to a three quarter theatre).

    This indicates that the reduction in quantity demand is small relative to price as they make more profit by raising price.
