Answer: (c)
Answer: (c)
Answer: Option B. -> (ii) only
Answer: (b)
Goods and services produced in India and sold outside the country i.e. to foreigners are referred to as exports. But the Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA) is the income earned by the four factors of production from abroad.
In case of NFIA, the production happens abroad but in case of exports, the production happens in the domestic country. So NFIA is different from exports and hence statement (i) is false
Now (post-2015), the indirect taxes and subsidies are included in the GDP and GNP calculation.
So, statement (ii) is true
