Answer:

to increase total revenue by charging higher prices to those with the most inelastic demand for the product and lower prices to those with the most elastic demand.

Explanation:

Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets

types of price discrimination

1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.

2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.  

3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
