(c) Romeo feels this is true love.

(b) touch Juliet’s hand.

To   crows .

• Romeo is comparing Juliet to a sacred being. 
• Her residence is, therefore, a shrine to her. The suggestion is that she is some kind of saint, a being far beyond the reaches of ordinary humans.
•  He therefore humbly beseeches her to allow him penitence for having "profaned" (i.e. desecrated) this place consecrated to her.

• Romeo glorifies Juliet's beauty by comparing her appearance to objects and abstract concepts observable in nature.

•  In his soliloquy, Romeo compares Juliet to firelight, a star or a planet in the night sky, and a dove in a flock of crows.

Juliet asks the loving, black-browed night to bring her Romeo to her.

(b) description of Romeo’s charm.

Romeo intends to dance with her or at least touch her hand in greeting and make his blessed.

Borneo had not seen what true beauty was until he saw Juliet.

The phrase ‘face of heaven’ signifies the moonlit night sky.

Romeo imagines that his coarse hand will be blessed when he touches Juliet’s hand.

Romeo uses two similes to describe Juliet’s extraordinary beauty. The first simile is deployed in the lines

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night As a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear.

In these lines, the phrases ‘cheek of the night’ and ‘Ethiope’s ear’ apparently refer to the darkness of the night personified as an African/Ethiopian lady. As we know, an African lady is black in complexion. Juliet stands out conspicuously amidst others in the dark night, lit up by torches in the room. There is a stark contrast between the bright and shining complexion of Juliet and the dark night.

The second simile is deployed in the lines: So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o’er her fellow’s shows.

In these lines, the comparison is between the ‘snowy dove’ and the ‘crows’. Obviously Juliet is the snowy dove and the other ladies in the room are crows. ‘Dove’ is a symbol of ‘love’ and beauty; crows have always been considered black and ugly. Naturally, for Romeo, Juliet is the personification of love and beauty. It also implies that the other ladies including Rosaline, with whom he had fallen in love, appear ugly and gross to him. That is why he uses the phrase ‘her fellows’, to describe them. These two similes highlight how enchanted Romeo is with her beauty.

Collusive oligopoly is a form of the market in which there are few firms in the market and all decide to avoid competition through a formal agreement. They collude to form a cartel, and fix for themselves output quota and market price. Sometimes a leading firm in the market is accepted by the cartel as a price leader. Members of the cartel accept the price as fixed by the price leader. 

Two main features of oligopoly are as under:

(i) Few Firms: A few firms, but large in size, dominate the market for a commodity. Each firm commands a significant share of the market and can impact market price of the product through its independent price-output policy.

(ii) Barriers to the Entry of Firms: There are various barriers to the entry of new firms. These barriers are almost similar to those under monopoly. Patent-rights is the most important form of entry-barrier. Entry of the new firms is extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Price rigidity refers to the situation where the price of good does not change immediately or readily to the new market clearing price when there are shifts in the demand and supply curve.

Interdependence of firms in an oligopoly market-In an oligopoly market, there is a small number of big firms. Accordingly, there is a high degree of mutual interdependence. Implying that, price and output policy of one firm has a significant impact on the price and output policy of the rival firms in the market. When one firm lowers its price the rival firms may also lower the price. And, when one firm raises its price, the rival firms may not do so. It is because of the interdependence that it becomes very difficult to estimate change in firm's sales caused by a change in price. Implying that a precise relationship between price and sales cannot be established or, that the firm's demand curve can not be drown.

(c) Oligopoly 

The money measurement concept implies that every business transaction must be recorded in a common unit of measurement i.e. in terms of money only.

The main reason why the number of firms is small is that there are barriers which prevent entry of the firms into the industry. Patents raw materials, etc. prevent new firms from entering the industry. Only those who are able to cross these barriers enter.

In oligopoly, there are only few firms. If they compete on the basis of price, there is likely to be price war and the firm may louse. So, the firm adopts measures other than price for competing like customer care, after sale service, free gifts, etc. This is non-Price competition.

(c) 80 Companies 

Given S.P = Rs 1400, C.P = Rs 1000, 8% = Vat rate, Vat = ? 

Vat = \(\frac{Rate}{100}\)(SP-CP) 

Vat = \(\frac{8}{100}\)(1400 – 1000) 

= \(\frac{8\times400}{100}\) = 32 

∴ Vat paid = Rs 32.

Given S.P = 10,500, C.P. = 9000, Vat = ?, = 4% 

Vat = \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{100}\)(SP-CP) = \(\frac{\text { 4 }}{100}\)(10,500 – 9000) 

= \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{100}\)× 1500 = 60 

∴ Vat paid by shopkeeper = Rs 60.

Given S.T = 9%, 

S.P = 13,407 

S.P = C.P + 9% of C.P 

9x 13,407 = x + \(\frac{9x}{100}\)

13407 = \(\frac{109x}{100}\)⇒ x = \(\frac{13407\times100}{109}\) = 12300 

Sales tax is at 13% 

i.e., 13% -9% = 4%

Sales tax = 12300 x \(\frac{4}{100}\) = Rs 492 

∴ Customer should pay 492 more.

The four main ‘Banis’ of Guru Nanak Dev Ji are: ‘Var Malhar’, War Assa’, ‘Japji Sahib’ and ‘Barah Maha’.

At Kurukshetra, Guru Nanak Dev Ji gave the message that a person should lay stress more on the purity of his mind and soul than on mere purity of his physical appearance (carnal existence).
