उत्तर

When the price increases by 50% and the supply increases only by 5% the price elasticity of supply of that commodity will be E1 < 1.

Explanation:

Es​ = `("Percentage change in quantity supplied")/("Percentage change in price")​`

Es = `(5%)/(50%)`

= 0.1

Since Es < 1, the supply is inelastic, meaning the percentage change in quantity supplied is less than the percentage change in price.
