Question:

Given that $p_0$ and $p_1$ represent base and current prices of a commodity, $q_0$ and $q_1$ refer to the base and current quantities, then the formula used to calculate price relatives is :

Options:

$\frac{p_1}{p_0}×100$

$\frac{p_1q_1}{p_0q_0}×100$

$\frac{q_1}{q_1}×100$

$\sqrt{p_0q_1}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{p_1}{p_0}×100$

Explanation:

Price relative compares the current price with the base price of a commodity.

Formula of price relative:

$\text{Price Relative}=\frac{p_1}{p_0}\times100$

final answer: $\frac{p_1}{p_0}\times100$
