Which index number formula satisfies both time reversal and factor reversal tests?
A. Laspeyres index
B. Paasche index
C. Fisher's ideal index
D. Simple aggregative index
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Fisher's ideal index, being the geometric mean of Laspeyres and Paasche indices, is the only common formula that satisfies both time reversal and factor reversal tests, ensuring mathematical consistency.
