Assertion (A): Nominal GDP is always equal to Real GDP.
Reason (R): Real GDP is a better measure to make periodic comparison in the physical output of goods and services over different years as compared to Nominal GDP.
Alternatives:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

(c) Assertion (A) is True but Reason (R) is False.
(d) Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True.
Ans – (d)
