    7. Option (2) is correct. Kinked demand curve theory postulates that in oligopoly market, prices remain sticky at current level. So even if demand conditions change, prices are stable.

    6. Monopolist lowers the price in market where (1) elasticity is higher. This is because due to high elasticity, if the monopolist reduces price even a little, he can gain a great share in the market by increasing quantity much more. But in a lower elasticity market, demand is inelastic. So monopolist will take advantage of this and sell his product at high price because even then his quantity demanded will not reduce that much.
