Question
Given the following table, find Walsh’s Price Index Number by completing the activity.
Commodity $p_0$ $q_0$ $p_1$ $q_1$ $q_0q_1$ $\sqrt{ q _0 q _1}$ $p _0 \sqrt{q_0 q_1}$ $p _1 \sqrt{ q _0 q _1}$
I 20 9 30 4 36 $\square$ $\square$ 180
II 10 5 50 5 $\square$ 5 50 $\square$
III 40 8 10 2 16 $\square$ 160 $\square$
IV 30 4 20 1 $\square$ 2 $\square$ 40
Total     390 $\square$

Walsh's price Index Number is
$ P _{01}( W )=\frac{\square}{\sum p _0 \sqrt{ q _0 q _1}} \times 100$
$=\frac{510}{\square} \times 100$
$=\square $

Answer

Commodity $p_0$ $q_0$ $p_1$ $q_1$ $q_0q_1$ $\sqrt{ q _0 q _1}$ $p_0 \sqrt{q_0 q_1}$ $p _1 \sqrt{ q _0 q _1}$
I 20 9 30 4 36 6 120 180
II 10 5 50 5 25 5 50 250
III 40 8 10 2 16 4 160 40
IV 30 4 20 1 4 2 60 40
Total     390 510

Walsh's price Index Number is
$ P_{01}(W)=\frac{\sum p_1 \sqrt{q_0 q_1}}{\sum p_0 \sqrt{q_0 q_1}} \times 100$
$=\frac{510}{390} \times 100$
$=130.77 $

A bill of $\text{₹} 8,000$ drawn on $5^{\text {th }}$ January 2019 for 8 months was discounted for $\text{₹} 7,680$ on a certain date. Find the date on which it was discounted at $10 \%$ p.a.
Solution: Banker's Discount
$\text { B.D. }=\text { F.V. }- \text { C.V. }=8,000-7,680=\text{₹} 320$
Date of drawing $=5^{\text {th }}$ January 2019
$\text { Period }=8 \text { months }$
Nominal due date $=\square$
Legal due date $=\square$
B.D. $=$ Interest on F.V. for $n$ at $10 \%$ p.a.
$ \therefore \text { B.D. }=\frac{\text { F.V. } \times \frac{ n }{365} \times r }{100}$
$\therefore 320=\frac{8000 \times \frac{ n }{365} \times 10}{100}$
$\therefore n =\square \text { days } $
