Identify the correctly matched pair from the items in Column A by matching them to the items in column B:
| Column A | Column B |
| 1. Increase or decrease in demand for a commodity does not cause any change in its price. | (a) Effect on supply, in the case of Perfectly Elastic Demand. |
| 2. Increase or decrease in demand causes a change in the price of the commodity. Equilibrium quantity remains constant. | (b) Effect on demand, in the case of Perfectly Inelastic Supply. |
| 3. Increase or decrease in demand cause a change in the price of the commodity. Equilibrium quantity remains constant. | (c) Effect on demand, in the case of Perfectly Elastic Supply. |
| 4. Increase or decrease in demand for a commodity does not cause any change in its price. | (d) Effect on supply, in the case of Perfectly Elastic Demand. |
Assertion (A): Elasticity of demand explains that one variable is influenced by another variable.
Reasoning (R): The concept of elasticity of demand indicates the effect of price and changes in other factors on demand.
