Elasticity of demand = (% change in Demand / % change in price)

Here % change in Demand = (50-100/100)*100 = -50%

          % change in Price        = (12-10/10)*100     = 20%

             EOD                             =  50% / 20%            = -2.5 

So i think the correct answer is not provided in the options..........

I agree with Priya
