Solution:-
Calculation of Real GDP for 2015 – 16
Real GDP = Nominal GDP/GDP Deflator × 100
Real GDP = 8.4/140 × 100 = 6%
Calculation of Real GDP for 2016 – 17
Real GDP = Nominal GDP/GDP Deflator × 100
Real GDP = 9/125 × 100
Real GDP = 7.2%
The Real GDP increases in the year 2016 – 17 may be due to increase in production
