when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
An example of perfectly inelastic demand would be a life-saving drug that people will pay any price to obtain. Elastic demand is the opposite of this.
perfectly elastic demand the quantity change by infinitely large amount proportion due to the small change in price, is called perfectly elastic demand. perfectly inelastic demand the quantity demand doesn't change at all due to the change in price is called perfectly inelastic demand. relatively elastic demand the quantity demand changes by a little more percentage than the change in price is called relatively elastic demand. relatively inelastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is less than the percentage change change in its price is called relatively inelastic demand unitary elastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is equal to the percentage change in price is called unitary elastic demand

There are 2 different types price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply. If you meant to ask is demand for coal price elastic on inelastic, answer is yes, it is price inelastic. The demand for coal, is unlikely to drop much even if the price of it increases, it can be said that it is a 'necessity'. Since the quantity demanded decreases less than proportionate than the increase in price, it is said to be price inelastic.
price elasticity of food would be inelastic, as there are no substitutes and food is a necessity.
A)
Elastic goods usually have many substitutes, so changes in price will decrease demand. Inelastic goods, on the other hand, have very few substitutes, so demand isn't generally affected by price change.
Such products have an inelastic demand.
Yes. A monopolist would tend to charge a price closer to fair market value when the demand for a good is elastic. If not demand would be affected. With a monopoly controlled inelastic good the consumer has no recourse and there for would be and the mercy of the supplier.
