Question:

What is the value of real GDP if nominal GDP is ₹3300 crores and GDP deflator is 150.

Options:

₹2200 crores

₹3150 crores

₹3000 crores

₹3450 crores

Correct Answer:

₹2200 crores

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

According to the question,

GDP deflator = $\frac{\text { Nominal GDP}}{\text {Real GDP }} * 100$

150 = \(\frac{\text { ₹3300}}{\text {Real GDP }}\) * 100

Real GDP = \(\frac{\text { ₹3300}}{\text {150 }}\) * 100

Real GDP = ₹2200 crores
