Answer
Nominal Income: When output produced in current year is valued on the basis of prices prevailing in current year. Real Income: When output produced in current year is valued on the basis of prices prevailing in base year. Basic difference between these concepts is price level (output considered in both these concepts belongs to same year). If nominal income is given and we have to find real income, then we can use this formula:$\text{Real Income}=\frac{\text{Nominal Income}}{\text{Price Index}}\times100$
let us Assume: Nominal Income = ₹ 240 Crores; Price Index (PI) = 120$\text{Real Income}=\frac{240}{120}\times100=\text{₹ }200\text{ Crores}$
