National Income & GDP Questions with Solutions

This topic covers national income and how it is measured: GDP, GNP, NDP and NNP, measurement at market price and at factor cost, the production, income and expenditure methods, per capita income, base years, and the sectors of the economy (primary, secondary and tertiary). Exam questions test the differences between the measures (GNP = GDP + net factor income from abroad, and NDP = GDP - depreciation), which body estimates national income in India (the National Statistical Office), and which sector contributes the most to India's GDP (the services sector). Dadabhai Naoroji made one of the first estimates of India's national income. Practise the national income and GDP questions below, written in the style of the general awareness sections of exams such as SSC, banking, railways, CUET GAT, MAH CET and CLAT. Each question comes with a detailed explanation that adds related facts, so every question helps you revise more than one point.
