Solution

(a) National income (by income method)
= 1,900 + 720 - 20 = 2,600 crores
Note: Operating surplus consists of rent, interest and profit. So rent and interest are not included separately.
(b) National income (by expenditure method)
= 2,000 + 400 + 20 + 600 + (- 20) - 400
= 2,600 crores
Note: Change in stock is a part of net capital formation and therefore not included separately.
