   1. Consumption expenditure by households
   2. Gross domestic capital formation
   3. Net factor income from abroad
   4. Government final consumption expenditure
   Show answer

   Answer: C. Net factor income from abroad

   The expenditure method of GDP calculation sums up consumption (C), investment (I), government spending (G), and net exports (NX). Net factor income from abroad is a component of Gross National Product (GNP) but not GDP.

   1. ₹800 crore
   2. ₹1,000 crore
   3. ₹1,200 crore
   4. ₹200 crore
   Show answer

   Answer: A. ₹800 crore

   Net Investment = Gross Investment - Depreciation. Therefore, Net Investment = ₹1,000 crore - ₹200 crore = ₹800 crore.

3. What is the primary purpose of calculating Gross Domestic Product (GDP)?

   1. To measure the total wealth of a nation
   2. To assess the standard of living of the poorest citizens

   4. To track the volume of imports and exports
   Show answer

   Answer: C. To measure the total market value of final goods and services produced in an economy

   GDP is a fundamental indicator of the size and health of an economy, representing the total value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders over a specific period.

4. If the economy is experiencing inflation, nominal GDP growth will likely be:

   1. Lower than real GDP growth
   2. Higher than real GDP growth
   3. Equal to real GDP growth
   4. Unrelated to real GDP growth
   Show answer

   Answer: B. Higher than real GDP growth

   Nominal GDP reflects changes in both the quantity of goods and services produced and their prices. When inflation occurs, the increase in prices contributes to a higher nominal GDP growth compared to real GDP growth, which measures only changes in the volume of output.

5. Which of the following is a key indicator of the economic well-being of a nation, although it has limitations?

   1. GDP deflator
   2. Inflation rate
   3. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

   Show answer

   Answer: C. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

   GDP is a primary measure of economic activity and is often used as a proxy for the overall economic health and standard of living of a country, despite its limitations in capturing income distribution or environmental quality.
