    34. On a rectangular hyperbola demand curve, elasticity at all points is equal to one. This is because elasticity as per one method, is measured by taking the area below the curve. In such a curve, it is always constant. Hence it is unitary elastic.

    33. While among these the option (3) is correct, but actually income elasticity of demand in case of luxuries is positive as well as greater than one. What that means is two things - One, if income rises, our consumption of luxury goods also does. Vice versa in case of fall in income. This explains the positive elasticity quotient. Two, the consumption of luxury items rises more than the rise in income, and it falls more than the fall in income. This explains the greater than one elasticity quotient.
