उत्तर
As a result of 5% fall in the price of a good, its demand rises by 12%, the demand for the good will said be relatively more elastic demand.
Explanation:
Since the demand increases by a larger percentage (12%) in response to a smaller percentage decrease in price (5%), the demand is considered relatively more elastic. This indicates that consumers are highly responsive to price changes for this good.
