Who formulated the criteria of 'jail cost of living'?
Answer: A
Dadabhai Naoroji formulated the idea of a jail cost of living standard when estimating India's per capita income in his work on poverty under British rule, taking the cost of feeding prisoners as the minimum cost of living. Jawaharlal Nehru, Tilak and Gokhale are not credited with this criterion. The idea underlies his argument that the income of an average Indian was barely enough for subsistence, because even the diet given to a prisoner in jail cost more than the average income of a person outside.
