CHAPTER-3
3. Statement 1: Real GDP adjusts for changes in the price level over time.
Statement 2: Nominal GDP reflects the value of goods and services produced in an economy
at current market prices.
4. Statement 1: GDP Deflator measures the ratio of Nominal GDP to Real GDP. Statement 2:
GDP Deflator is used to calculate the inflation rate in an economy.
5. Statement 1: GDP growth is directly proportional to an improvement in overall welfare.
Case 2: In a hypothetical economy, the Nominal GDP is Rs 15 trillion and the Real GDP is
Rs 12 trillion. If the GDP deflator is 125, what can be inferred about the price level in the
economy?
a) Case 1: Prices have increased by 25% since the base year.
b) Case 2: Prices have decreased by 25% since the base year.
c) Case 3: Prices have increased by 125% since the base year.
d) Case 4: Prices have decreased by 125% since the base year. Case
3: Country Y has a Gross National Product (GNP) of Rs 8 trillion and a
Net National Product (NNP) of Rs 7.5 trillion. What could be a possible
reason for NNP being less than GNP?
Case 4: In a country with a Nominal GDP of Rs 20 trillion and a Real GDP of Rs 18 trillion,
what can be inferred about the inflation rate?
a) Case 1: Inflation rate is 10%
b) Case 2: Inflation rate is 20%
c) Case 3: Inflation rate is 5%
d) Case 4: Inflation rate is 2%
Case 5: A country has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Rs 12 trillion and a Net Domestic
Product (NDP) of Rs 10 trillion. Which of the following could explain the difference
between GDP and NDP?
a) Case 1: Indirect taxes
b) Case 2: Subsidies
c) Case 3: Net income earned from abroad
d) Case 4: Depreciation of capital assets
Source-based integrated questions:
Source 1: Excerpt from an Economic Report
"The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Country A increased by 5% in the last quarter,
reaching Rs 1.2 trillion. However, when accounting for inflation, the Real GDP growth rate
was only 3%. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in consumer spending and
exports."
Source 2: Statement from an Economist
"Economist X argues that focusing solely on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate can
be misleading as it does not consider factors such as income distribution and environmental
sustainability. Real GDP provides a more accurate measure of economic growth as it adjusts
for changes in price level over time."
Integrated Question 1:
Based on the information provided in Source 1 and Source 2, which of the following
statements is most accurate?
a) GDP growth rate is a reliable indicator of overall economic well-being.
b) Real GDP growth rate accounts for changes in price level over time, providing a
more accurate measure of economic growth.
c) Consumer spending and exports have no impact on GDP growth rate.
d) Economist X suggests that GDP growth rate should be the sole focus of economic analysis.
Integrated Question 2:
How might the information provided in Source 1 support the argument made by Economist X
in Source 2?
a) By demonstrating that GDP growth rate reflects changes in income distribution.
b) By highlighting the limitations of GDP growth rate in assessing economic progress.
c) By showing that GDP growth rate is directly correlated with environmental sustainability.
d) By indicating that GDP growth rate is the only factor influencing economic well-being.
Integrated Question 3:
If the GDP Deflator for Country A is 110, what can be inferred about the relationship between
Nominal GDP and Real GDP?
a) Nominal GDP is greater than Real GDP.
b) Real GDP is greater than Nominal GDP.
c) Nominal GDP and Real GDP are equal.
d) Nominal GDP and Real GDP are not related.
Integrated Question 4:
How might the consideration of factors such as income distribution and environmental
sustainability affect the interpretation of GDP growth rate?
a) They have no impact on the interpretation of GDP growth rate.
b) They provide additional context for assessing the overall well-being of an economy.
c) They decrease the reliability of GDP growth rate as an economic indicator.
d) They make GDP growth rate the sole measure of economic progress.
Integrated Question 5:
If Country A's GDP grew by 7% last year, but Real GDP only grew by 4%, what could be a
possible explanation for this difference?
a) Changes in the price level over time
b) Changes in government spending
c) Changes in population growth
d) Changes in income distribution
