Ans) Price discrimination of third degree is when the seller charges different price for same product from different groups. The price that it charges, depends upon the elasticity of demand. If elasticity is high, price will be low. If elasticity is low, price will be higher. This enables it it to capture larger market and increase its profit.
Eg- discount in movie tickets for senior citizens. It is because the elasticity of demand for movie tickets is high in case of senior citizens.
2.3 is more elastic than 1.5. So, price will be higher in market A and less in market B.
Option B.

3. A monopolist is able to practice third-degree price discrimination between two markets. The demand function in the first market is q = 500 - 2p and the demand function in the second market is q = 1,500 - 6p. To maximize his profits assuming constant marginal cost, he should a. charge a higher price in the second market than in the first. b. charge a higher price in the first market than in the second. c. charge the same...
