Read the passage carefully and answer the questions based on the passage:

Composition of GDP: Income Method

Calculate Operating surplus.

Rs. 140

The correct answer is Option (1) → Rs. 140

Operating Surplus is a component of national income calculated using the Income Method. It represents the income earned by the owners of capital — i.e., those who provide land, capital, or entrepreneurial effort — excluding wages and salaries. Thus, Operating Surplus includes:

1. Rent – Income from land or buildings

2. Interest – Income from lending capital

3. Royalty – Income from intellectual property or natural resources

4. Profit – Income earned by entrepreneurs (excluding wages)

Given, Rent = ₹20 crores, Interest = ₹30 crores, Royalty = ₹40 crores,Profit = ₹50 crores

Operating Surplus=20 + 30 +40 + 50

                         = ₹140 crores
