उत्तर
The supply is inelastic because the value of the coefficient of price elasticity of supply is less than one.

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 |
