Options:

$e_d=\frac{ΔQ}{Q}×\frac{P}{ΔP}$

$e_d=\frac{Q}{ΔQ}×\frac{P}{ΔP}$

$e_d=\frac{Q}{ΔQ}×\frac{ΔP}{P}$

$e_d=\frac{Q}{Q}×\frac{ΔP}{P}$

Correct Answer:

$e_d=\frac{ΔQ}{Q}×\frac{P}{ΔP}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is option(1) : $e_d=\frac{ΔQ}{Q}×\frac{P}{ΔP}$

$e_d$=percentage change in demand for the good/percentage change in the price of the good

$e_d=\frac{ΔQ}{Q}×\frac{P}{ΔP}$
