उत्तर

This statement is false.

Explanation:

  • If percentage increase in demand is more than percentage increase in price, then price elasticity of demand is greater than one.
  • Highly elastic demand is represented by a flatter demand curve, not a steeper one.
  • A steeper demand curve represents less elastic demand, where percentage change in demand is less than percentage change in price.
