    B) 2 only

    C) 1 and 2

    D)        Neither 1 nor 2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In the calculation of GNP, we include the money value of goods and services produced by nationals outside the country. Hence, income produced and received by nationals of a country within the boundaries of foreign countries should be added in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. Similarly, income received by foreign nationals within the boundary of the country should be excluded from GDP.
