The short-run production function for a firm is as follows
Q = -L³ + 15L² + 10L
Where Q denotes total output in physical units and L denotes units of labour which are homogeneous, but are not perfectly divisible and change in labour does not tend to become zero.
Statement I In this production function, the marginal product of 5^th unit of labour is 85.
Statement II Similarly, in this production function, the average product of the 5^th unit of labour is 60.

A. On a linear demand curve, all the five forms of elasticity can be depicted

B. If two demand curves are linear and intersecting each other, then, coefficient of elasticity would be same on different demand curves at the point of intersection.

C. If two demand curves are linear and parallel to each other, then, at a particular price, the coefficient of elasticity would be different on different demand curves.

D. The price elasticity of demand is expressed in terms of relaive not absolute changes in Price and Quantity demanded.

If the demand for a good is inelastic, an increase in its price will cause the total expenditure of the consumers of the good to
