The correct Answer is:
N/a
No. it is not possible as equality between market price and marginal cost is a necessary condition for perfectly competitive firm to be in equilibrium. (It must be noted that market price is equal to marginal revenue when price remain constant at all output levels, i.e., in case of perfect competition.)
