उत्तर

Demand for habitual commodity has zero elastic demand.

Explanation:

The goods that a consumer is habituated to, such as liquor, cigarettes, etc., have an inelastic demand or zero elastic demand. A change in the prices of these goods has a lesser impact on their demand, as the consumer is habituated to these goods and hence cannot reduce their consumption.

Read the following news report and answer the Q.97-Q.100 on the basis of the same:

The quantity of a commodity that a consumer is willing to buy and is able to afford, given the prices of goods and the consumer's tastes and preferences is called demand for the commodity. Whenever one or more of these variables change, the quantity of the good Chosen by the consumer is likely to change as well. The relation between the consumer's optimal choice of the quantity of a good and its price is very important and this relation is called the demand function. Thus, the consumer's demand function for a good gives the amount of the good that the consumer chooses at different levels of its price when the other things remain unchanged.

Assertion: The income of the consumers remains unchanged

Reason: Commodity should be a normal good.

Select the correct alternative from the following.
