The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
National income counts the value of current production of goods and services. The sale of a second hand good is not counted, but a service given in the sale is counted.

Step 2: Check Statement 1:
A dealer of second hand cars earns brokerage, a commission for helping the sale. This commission pays for a service rendered this year.
So it is included in national income. Statement 1 is true.

Step 3: Check Statement 2:
Producers such as farmers keep some output for their own use. The market price does not exist, so its value is imputed (estimated) and added.
So Statement 2 is true.

Step 4: Choose the option:
Both statements are true. Options (A), (B) and (D) each call one statement or both false, which is wrong.

Final Answer:
Both Statements 1 and 2 are true. This is option (C).
