Laspeyer’s index =( ∑P_nQ₀)/ ( ∑P₀Q₀) *100 = (6*3+0*4 + 9*2 + 1*3) /(4*3 +5*4+7*2+2*3 ) = (39)/(52)*100 = ¾ *100 =75

Paasche’s index = ( ∑P_nQ_n)/ ( ∑P_nQ_n) *100= (6*2+0*4+9*2+1*5)/(4*2+5*4+7*2+2*5) = (35)/(52) = 3500/52 = 67.307

Fisher’s Index is the geometric mean of laspeyer’s and paashe’s index. Thus Fisher’s Index is √((3/4)*(35/52)) *100 = 71.05

L = EP1Q0/EP0Q0 * 100 = 18+10+18+3/12+20+14+6 * 100 = 39/52*100 = 75

P = EP1Q1/EP0Q1 * 100 = 12+0+18+5 /8+20+14+10 *100 = 35/52*100 = 67.31

F = ROOT L*P=ROOT75*67.31=71.05
