GNI = GNP = GDP + NFIA

 Discuss Question
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

  3.    (i) & (ii) only
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
Answer: (d)
GDP is the sum of the final value of all goods and services (consumption and capital) produced in the economy or it can also be defined as the value added by all the enterprises/firms in the economy (by value-added method). So (i) & (ii) statements are true.
By expenditure method, GDP = C + I + G + X-M
C + I + G is the expenditure done by the three sectors of the economy on two types of final goods i.e. consumption and capital (investment goods). X-M is the net of exports and imports. So, (iii) statement is also true.
By the Income method, GDP is also equal to the income received by the four factors of production i.e. Profit, Rent, Interest and wages. So, (iv) statement is also true.
