a) Other things remaing the same, the inverse relationship between price of commodity and its quantity demanded is known as law of demand. It shows negative relationship between price and its quantity demanded.

b) Change in demand - when demand of a commodity changes due to change in factors other than price like change in the income of the consumer, change in taste and preference, change in the price of related goods then it causes change in demand. It causes shift of demand curve either leftward or rightward.

Change in quantity demanded - When demand of a commodity changes due to change in the price of commodity itself then it causes change in quantity demanded. It causes movement of the demand curve either upward or downward.

f) Own price elasticity of demand - The responsiveness of % change in quantity demanded of a commodity due to % change in the price of commodity itself.

Cross price Ed - The responsives of % change in the quantity demanded of good Y due to % change in the price of good X.

Income Ed - The responsiveness of % change in quantity demanded of a good when income of consumer changes.
