उत्तर
This statement is False.
Explanation:
When the price change is greater than the change in quantity demanded, it is a case of inelastic demand, not elastic demand. Inelastic demand means that the quantity demanded is relatively unresponsive to changes in price. Elastic demand occurs when the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than in price.
