Real GDP is calculated in a way such that goods and services are evaluated at some constant set of prices. Since these prices remain fixed, if the Real GDP changes we can be sure that it is the volume of production which is undergoing changes. Nominal GDP, on the other hand, is simply the value of GDP at the current prevailing prices.

Real G.D.P. increases only when.

Solution

Correct Option: 3

Real GDP is computed using constant base-year prices. Since prices are held fixed, any rise in Real GDP must come from an increase in the volume of production.
