01 If C = 800, I = 300, G = 250, X = 180 and M = 130 crore, what is GDP?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. ₹1400 crore
Explanation: Using the expenditure method, GDP = C + I + G + (X − M). First calculate net exports: X − M = 180 − 130 = 50 crore. Then GDP = 800 + 300 + 250 + 50 = ₹1400 crore. Option B would result from incorrectly adding imports, whereas imports must be subtracted because they are foreign production.
