The price rises by rs1 ...

  • 1

price= rs4

new price= x

demand=100

new demand= 75

change in market deamnd= 100-75= 25

elasticity of demand= change in demand/ change in price * price/demand

                                   1= 25/4-x*4/100 

                                   x = 3

=> new price is 4+x= 4+3= 7
