Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 30-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

Indian Economy GK Quiz Level 2: GDP, National Income and Sectors

This is the Level 2 Indian Economy GK quiz on basic concepts, sectors, GDP and national income, set a step above the introductory level. Its questions use match-the-list, statement, odd-one-out and sequence formats to test value added, the GDP deflator, factor cost against market price, and unemployment types. Aptitude360 gives an explanation for every answer.

What the Level 2 national income questions test

  • Classifying activities into primary, secondary and tertiary sectors and spotting the odd one out
  • Real GDP, nominal GDP and how the GDP deflator links them
  • Value added by a firm and the wheat, flour and biscuits chain
  • Moving from GNP to NNP and from market price to factor cost
  • The three methods of measuring national income
  • Disguised, seasonal and educated unemployment, and Human Development Report indicators

Key concepts for GDP and national income

  • Depreciation is subtracted from GNP to obtain NNP
  • NNP at factor cost equals NNP at market prices minus indirect taxes plus subsidies
  • National income is NNP at factor cost, not at market price
  • GNP exceeds GDP when residents earn more abroad than foreigners earn within the country
  • Imported goods are left out of GDP because they are produced outside the country

Revision tips for medium-level economy questions

  • Read each statement for swapped terms, such as real and nominal in the deflator definition
  • Write the chain from GDP to national income once, noting what is added or subtracted at each stage
  • Link institutions to tasks: UNDP with the Human Development Report and the World Bank with per capita income rankings

Who should take this level

It suits general awareness aspirants who have finished the introductory level of this series and want practice with statement-based and matching questions.

FAQs about Basic Concepts, Sectors, GDP and National Income – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 2

How is the GDP deflator calculated?
The GDP deflator is nominal GDP divided by real GDP, multiplied by one hundred. It shows how much prices have changed from the base year.
What is the difference between real GDP and nominal GDP?
Nominal GDP is measured at current prices, while real GDP is measured at constant base-year prices. A rise in real GDP indicates that actual output has increased.
What are the three methods of measuring national income?
National income is measured by the product or value added method, the income method and the expenditure method.
How do you get NNP at factor cost from NNP at market price?
Subtract indirect taxes and add subsidies to NNP at market prices. The result, NNP at factor cost, is called national income.
