Explanation
Elasticity Determination Requires Quantity Data
Steps:
- Elasticity measures % change in quantity divided by % change in price.
- Price fall from P1 to P2 implies %ΔP is negative, but %ΔQ for demand and supply is unknown.
- Without quantity changes for wheat demanded or supplied, elasticities cannot be classified.
- Standard assumptions for wheat (inelastic demand/supply) do not apply without specifics.
Why C is correct:
- Not applicable; insufficient data to confirm any option.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: No evidence for both elastic.
- B: No evidence for demand inelastic and supply elastic.
- D: No evidence for both inelastic.
Not enough information. Final answer: Not enough information.
Topic: Price elasticity, income elasticity and cross elasticity of demand
