उत्तर १
A monopolistically competitive market is a blend of both a perfectly competitive market and a monopoly market.
Features of Perfectly Competitive Market:
- Large number of firms.
- No barriers to entry or exit.
Features of Monopoly Market:
- Product differentiation refers to how each company creates a product that differs slightly from that of rivals.
- Close substitutes but no perfect substitutes.
उत्तर २
Monopolistic competition is considered a blend of perfect competition and monopoly because it shares characteristics of both market structures.
- Large Number of Sellers (Like Perfect Competition): In a market with many companies, no single company has control over the entire industry. This is close to perfect competition.
- Product Differentiation (Like Monopoly): Each firm offers a differentiated product through branding, quality, or features, allowing them to have some monopoly power in pricing.
