A country’s GDP is ₹9000 crore and its population is 6 crore. What is its per capita GDP?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: ₹1500
Per capita GDP is calculated by dividing total GDP by the population: ₹9000 crore ÷ 6 crore = ₹1500. The crore units cancel because both GDP and population are expressed in crores. Thus option A is correct. Option B would result from an incorrect division, C from multiplication or a unit error, and D does not represent the stated quotient. Per capita GDP is an average, not the income received equally by every person.
