Answer #1

Answer - No , only the advertising of the product cannot be the only difference in perfect competition and monopolistic market . It also practises the various product differentiation techniques such as the various capacity of the gas tankers as per the need , various composition of gases as per requirement, various kind of oil such as power oil or normal oil . This is called the product differentiation. The price differentiation techniques also separates the perfect competition from monopolistic competition. Also the demand of the perfect competition is perfect elastic whereas demand of monopolistic market is less elastic than perfect competition. Which allows the gas station owners to charge different price from different users.
