    if price fall from 10 to 9
    along that demand increases from 100 to 110
    %change is demand is 10%
    %change in price is 10%

    then ped = 1

    but if we calculate revenue 10 x 100 = 1000
    after price change revenue 9 x 110 = 990

    so my question is even if price elasticity of demand is 1 we will not decide to decrease cost, organisation should check the revenue change before deciding.
    Am i right sir?

    You are right. All the price elasticity does is measure how big an affect the change in price will have on the demand. It does not necessarily mean that the revenue will increase.
