Sample questions

1. Which of the following is NOT a component of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) calculated using the expenditure method?

   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.

2. If Gross Investment is ₹1,000 crore and Depreciation is ₹200 crore, what is the Net Investment?

   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
   3. To measure the total market value of final goods and services produced in an economy
   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)
   4. Net factor income from abroad
   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.
