According to book TR Jain , VK ohri the WPI (WHOLESALE PRICE INDEX) measured on monthly basis but CPI (CONSUMER PRICE INDEX) measured on weekly basis. Why ?

Govinda,

I want to correct you in this regard. Wholesale Price Index(WPI) is measured on weekly basis and Consumer Price Index(CPI) is measured on monthly basis.

For more explanation on WPI and CPI, refer to the following link and then scroll down to the topics 'Consumer Price Index' and 'Wholesale Price Index'.
