Question
There is direct relation between price and quantity supplied.

Answer

No, I do not agree with this statement.
  • According to the Law of Supply “Other things remaining constant supply varies directly with price i.e., more quantity will be offered for sale at a higher price and less at a lower price. So there is a positive relationship between price and supply.”
    S = f(P)
  • The supply curve which is a graphical representation of supply schedule slopes upward from left to right indicating a positive slope.
  • In order to earn reasonable profit, the sellers try to sell more at higher prices and less at lower prices.
  • The sellers earn more profit when market price is greater than their reservation price.
  • Thus, the above statement is true.
