    1. V.K. R. V. Rao
    2. Dadabhai Naoroji
    3. R.C. Dutt
    4. D.R. Gadgil
Correct Option: B

Dadabhai Naoroji prepared the first estimates of National income in 1876. He estimated the national income by first estimating the value of agricultural production and then adding a certain percentage as non-agricultural production. However, such method can only been called as a non-scientific method. The first person to adopt a scientific procedure in estimating the national income was Dr. VKRV Rao in 1931.
