Answer: (c)

Explanation:

  • About Nominal GDP: Nominal GDP is the total value of goods and services produced within a specific economy. It is evaluated at current market prices.

    • Since nominal GDP doesn’t remove the pace of rising prices when comparing one period to another, it can inflate the growth figure. As a result, nominal GDP will most often be higher than real GDP in an expanding economy. Hence statement 1 is correct.
  • About Real GDP: It is the value of a country's total output of goods and services adjusted for inflation or deflation. It allows economists, policymakers, and analysts to assess the underlying growth of an economy without the distortion caused by changes in prices.

    • Real gross domestic product is often a more accurate reflection of the output of an economy than nominal GDP. By eliminating the distortion caused by inflation or deflation, real GDP gives economists a clearer idea of how the total national output of a country is growing or contracting from year to year. Hence statement 2 is correct.
