पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option C ((a) and (b) are correct).

Key Points:
• National Income Committee of 1949:
• Appointed in August 1949 by the Government of India under the chairmanship of Prof. P.C. Mahalanobis, with Prof. D.R. Gadgil and Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao as members.
• Methodology Recommended:
• Recognizing data limitations in an agrarian and largely unorganized economy, the committee recommended a combination of two methods:
• 1. Net Product Method (Output / Production Method): Applied to commodity-producing sectors like agriculture, forestry, mining, and factory manufacturing.
• 2. Net Income Method (Income Method): Applied to services, small enterprises, trade, transport, and public administration.
• The Expenditure method was omitted due to acute unreliability of aggregate consumption and private investment data in post-independence India.
• Hence, (a) and (b) are correct.
• Key Takeaway: The 1949 National Income Committee recommended combining the Net Product Method and Net Income Method.
