Solution

Budget Deficit: Budget deficit refers to the situation when the amount of government expenditure exceeds the revenues earned by the government.

Formula = G - T where, G represents Government expenditure. T represents government income

Trade Deficit: Trade deficit refers to the situation when the amount of the import expenditure exceeds the export revenue earned by the economy.

Trade Deficit = M - X or (I - S)+ (G - T) where M represents expenditure on import, X represents Revenue earned by exports.

It is given

I- S= 2000 crores
