Table 1 shows real GDP and population in Selvara in two periods.

Four students reach the following conclusions.
| Student | Conclusion |
|---|---|
| Elliot | Real GDP per capita increased from £12,000 to £13,000, a rise of £1,000. |
| Fatima | Real GDP per capita increased by £24,400 because the £122 billion rise in real GDP should be divided by the 5 million rise in population. |
| Gareth | Real GDP per capita was unchanged because both real GDP and population increased. |
| Hina | Real GDP per capita fell because the country's output was shared among more people. |
