This is a FALSE STATEMENT.
When the consumer spent a larger percentage of his income on good, the demand for that good will be more elastic.
Since the consumer is spending a larger proportion on a product, he will be more sensitive to a change in the price of that product. A small change in the price of those goods will lead to a larger percentage change in the quantity demanded.
Those demand for those goods which takes a small percentage of our income doesn’t changes more to the change in the price, having inelastic demand.
