The correct value index number by the simple aggregate method is V01=∑p1q1∑p0q0×100V_{01}=\dfrac{\sum p_1 q_1}{\sum p_0 q_0}\times 100. The given expression ∑p0q0p1q1×100\sum\dfrac{p_0 q_0}{p_1 q_1}\times 100 has the base and current years reversed and sums a per-item ratio, so it is wrong — the statement is False.

The value of an item is price ×\times quantity. The value index number aggregates the current-year values and the base-year values and takes their ratio:

V01=∑p1q1∑p0q0×100V_{01}=\frac{\sum p_1 q_1}{\sum p_0 q_0}\times 100

Here p1q1p_1 q_1 is summed over all items in the numerator (total current value) and p0q0p_0 q_0 in the denominator (total base value).
