Question:

What will be the GDP deflator when Nominal GDP is 50,000 crore and Real GDP is 25,000 crore?

Options:

50

200

100

2

Correct Answer:

200

Explanation:

GDP deflator is basically calculated to eliminate the effect of any price change and calculate the real change in total output. GDP deflator = \(\frac{\text { Nominal GDP}}{\text {Real GDP }}\) * 100

GDP deflator = \(\frac{50,000 }{ 25,000}\) * 100

GDP deflator = 2 * 100 = 200

It indicates that the price has gone up by 200%
