Answer 1

Statement (i) is true and statement (ii) is false

Explanation:

• Statement (i) is true because luxury goods generally have elastic demand, meaning that a change in price leads to a relatively larger change in the quantity demanded.
• Statement (ii) is false because goods with close substitutes typically have elastic demand, as consumers can easily switch to a substitute if the price of the good increases.
