The circular test is satisfied if an index allows comparison of period 2 with period 0 via period 1, i.e., P₀₁ × P₁₂ = P₀₂. Which index commonly fails this test?
A. Laspeyres index
B. Chain base index with fixed weights
C. Simple geometric mean index
D. Fisher's ideal index

Correct Answer: Option A

Laspeyres index uses fixed base-period weights, so P₀₁ × P₁₂ ≠ P₀₂ in general due to weight rigidity, failing the circular test; Fisher's index satisfies it under certain conditions.
