Solution
| Commodity | Base Year | Current Year | p0q0 | p0q1 | p1q0 | p1q1 | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| A | 3 | x | 2 | 5 | 3x | 15 | 2x | 10 |
| B | 4 | 6 | 3 | 5 | 24 | 20 | 18 | 15 |
| Total | – | – | – | – | = 24 + 3x | = 35 | = 18 + 2x | = 25 |
From the table,
`sump_0q_0` = 3x + 24,
`sump_0q_1` = 35
`sump_1q_0` = 2x + 18,
`sump_1q_1` = 25
Laspeyre’s Price Index Number:
P01(L) = `(sump_1q_0)/(sump_0q_0) xx 100`
= `(2x + 18)/(3x + 24) xx 100` ...(i)
Paasche’s Price Index Number:
P01(P) = `(sump_1q_1)/(sump_0q_1) xx 100`
= `(25)/(35) xx 100`
= `(5)/(7) xx 100` ...(ii)
Since P01(L) = P01(P),
`(2x + 18)/(3x + 24) xx 100 = (5)/(7) xx 100` ...[From (i) and (ii)]
∴ `(2x + 18)/(3x + 24) = (5)/(7)`
∴ 14x + 126 = 15x + 120
∴ 126 – 120 = 15x – 14x
∴ x = 6.

| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| I | 8 | 30 | 12 | 25 | 360 | 240 | 300 | 200 |

Laspeyre's Price Index Number:
P01(L) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_0)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx 100 = square/660xx100`
∴ P01(L) = `square`
Paasche 's Price Index Number:
P01(P) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1) xx 100=(620)/(square) xx 100`
∴ P01(P) = `square`
