Solution

The correct option is A

a) Okuns law


Ans 36: A

Explanation: In economics, Okun's law (named after Arthur Melvin Okun, who proposed the relationship in 1962[1]) is an empirically
observed relationship between unemployment and losses in a country's production. The "gap version" states that for every 1%
increase in the unemployment rate, a country's GDP will be roughly an additional 2% lower than its potential GDP. The "difference
version"[2] describes the relationship between quarterly changes in unemployment and quarterly changes in real GDP
