7) elasticity of demand = % change in Q./ percentage change in P
-2*16 = Percentage change in Q
=-32%
Therefore (b) is the answer to this question
10) utility is nothing but the total satisfaction derived from consumption of a particular product on the whole and in this regard it can be mentioned that
(b) is the answer to this question
11) law of diminishing utility states that the additional consumption you do the utility level increases less proportionately than before or the amount of additional utility decreases with increase in quantity
Therefore (a) is the answer
