The quantity purchased of good Y remaining the same even when the price of good X rises, shows that the expenditure of good Y (Py, Qy) remains constant with a given income to spend on the two goods. This also means that the expenditure of good X remains constant when its price rises.This clearly shows that the price elasticity of demand for good X is equal to 1.
