Solution

The price index for a given year is calculated by taking the price of the basket of goods in that year, dividing it by the price of the same basket of goods in the base year, and then multiplying the result by 100.

So, for year 2, the calculation would be:

(11/11 / 10) * 100 = 110

Therefore, the price index for year 2 is 110.
