Solution
| Commodity | Base Year | Current Year | p0q1 | p1q1 | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||
| A | 20 | 8 | 40 | 7 | 140 | 280 |
| B | 50 | 10 | 60 | 10 | 500 | 600 |
| C | 40 | 15 | 60 | x | 40x | 60x |
| D | 12 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 180 | 225 |
| Total | – | – | – | – | 40x + 820 | 60x + 1105 |
From the table,
`sum"p"_0"q"_1 = 40x + 820, sum"p"_1"q"_1 = 60x + 1,105`
Paasche’s Price Index Number:
P01(P) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`
∴ 140 = `(60x + 1105)/(40x + 820) xx 100` ...[P01(P) = 140]
∴ `(140)/(100) = (60x + 1,105)/(40x + 820)`
∴ `(7)/(5) = (60x + 1,105)/(40x + 820)`
∴ 280x + 5,740 = 300x + 5,525
∴ 300x – 280x = 5,740 – 5,525
∴ 20x = 215
∴ x = 10.75

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`
