(1) Total outlay or Expenditure Method (2) Proportionate or Percentage Method (3) Point Elastic Method (4) Arc Elasticity of Method (5) Revenue Method
price elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand where by change in price of a commodity bring proportionate change in quantity demanded.

under total otlay method basically there are 3 other sub methods with the help of which you can calculate the price elasticity of demand.they are: elasticity greater than unity...ep>1 elasticity less than unity,,,,,,,ep<1 elasticity equals to unity....ep=1
According to this method the degree of elasticity of demand is measured by comparing firm's revenue from consumer's total outlay on the goods before the change in the price with after the change in the price.

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.

in oligopoly what is the nature of price elasticity
According to the total expenditure method; Ep<1 Price of X increases then the expenditure on X increases. Thus the expenditure and demand on Y decreases. Cross price elasticity of X and Y i s negative, therefore they are compliments. Now Taking Ep>1...we can find out the relation of substitutes. Threfore own price and cross price elasticity is not totally independent of one another.
Elasticity of supply refers to the responsiveness of guantity supplied of a commodity to changes in its own price. And the formulafor measuring elasticity of supply percentagechange in quantity supplied/ %change in price
price elasticity is the degree of responsiveness of demand or supply to a small change in price.
price elasticity=%change in quantity divided by %change in price it's inelastic when the absolute value of price elasticity is between 0 and 1
