Answer

Commodity Base Year Qty.$(q0)$ Current Year Qty. $(p1)$
P $170$ $90$
Q $150$ $70$
R $100$ $75$
S $195$ $150$
T $205$ $95$
  $\sum p0 = 820$ $\sum p1 = 480$
Steps : Add quantities of base year $(q0)$.
Add quantities of current year $(q )$.
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Q}_{01}=\frac{\Sigma q_1}{\Sigma q_0} \times 100 \\ & =\frac{480}{820} \times 100 \\ & =58.53\end{aligned}$
Hence, $Q_{01} = 58.53$
As quantity in the current year has fallen $Q_{01}$ is less than loo
