Solution

Perfect competition is an ideal and imaginary concept of a market rather than an actual market. According to Mrs. Joan Robinson, “Perfect competition prevails when the demand for the output of each producer is perfectly elastic.”

A perfectly competitive market is one in which the number of buyers and sellers is enormous. All the buyers and sellers are engaged in buying and selling a homogeneous product without any restrictions. Moreover, both buyers and sellers possess perfect knowledge of market conditions.
