उत्तर
Price elasticity of supply is measured by the ratio of the percentage change in quantity supplied to the percentage change in price of the commodity.
Es = `("Percentage change in quantity supplied of a commodity")/("Percentage change in the price of the commodity")`

Identify the correct sequence of alternatives given in Column II by matching them with respective terms in Column:
| Column I | Column II |
| A. Perfectly Inelastic | (i) Es > 1 |
| B. Perfectly Elastic | (ii) Es < 1 |
| C. Inelastic | (iii) Es = 0 |
| D. Highly Elastic | (iv) Es = infinity |
Choose the correct alternative:
Assertion (A): In case of perfectly inelastic supply, supply curve is a vertical straight line supply curve.
Reason (R): Supply does not change with change in price in case of Es = 0.
