Detailed explanation-1: -In general, necessities and medical treatments tend to be inelastic, while luxury goods tend to be most elastic.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a price change for a product doesn’t lead to much, if any, change in its supply or demand, it is considered inelastic. Generally, it means that the product is considered to be a necessity or a luxury item for addictive constituents. Examples would be gasoline, milk, and iPhones.
