The nominal GDP is ₹36,000 and real GDP is ₹34,000. GDP deflator therefore is:

  • A.36000/34000
  • B.34000/36000
  • C.36000-34000
  • D.36000*34000

Answer: A

The GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP (multiplied by 100 to express it as an index).

\[ \text{Deflator} = \frac{\text{Nominal GDP}}{\text{Real GDP}} \] \[ \frac{36000}{34000} \]

The result is about 1.06, which means prices have risen 6 per cent from the base year. The inverse ratio, 34000/36000, would be below one, the difference 36000 - 34000 is the gap in rupees and not a price index, and the product has no meaning. The answer is option A.
