Answer:
For better understanding the concepts of elastic and inelastic demand, the price elasticity of demand has been divided into five types, which are shown in Figure-1:
Different Types of Price Elasticity of Demand
Let us discuss the different types of price elasticity of demand (as shown in Figure-1).
1. Perfectly Elastic Demand:
When a small change in price of a product causes a major change in its demand, it is said to be perfectly elastic demand. In perfectly elastic demand, a small rise in price results in fall in demand to zero, while a small fall in price causes increase in demand to infinity. In such a case, the demand is perfectly elastic or ep = 00.
