Answer 1

From the table above:

P.A is the Price of Apples

Q.A is the Quantity of Apples

P.B is the Price of Bananas.

Q.B is the  Quantity of Bananas

P.M is the Prices of Mangoes

Q.M is the Quantity of Mangoes .

Cost of CPI Basket for each year is calculated as: $=P.A \times Q.A + P.B \times Q.B + P.M\times Q.M$

Consumer Price Indices (CPI) for each year is calculated as: $\frac{Cost\ of\ CPI\ basket\ for\ the\ year}{Cost\ of\ CPI\ basket\ for\ base\ year} \times 100$

Inflation rate for each year: $\frac{later\ CPI-earlier\ CPI}{earler\ CPI} \times 100$
