Correct Answer - Option 1 : net increase of 2.5% in price.

Fomula used

Simple aggregative method = P01 = ∑p1/∑p0  × 100

∑p1 = Price of all commodities in the current year

∑p =  Price of all commodities in base year

Calculation:

∑p= 600 + 700 + 400 + 300 = 2000

∑p= 700 + 600 + 480 + 270 = 2050

Net Price changes in Percentage

= P01 = 2050/2000 × 100

= 102.5

∴ The price of commodities in 2017 is increased by 2.5% from 2016

Simple Aggregative Method = In it the total price of commodities in a given (current) year is divided by the total price of commodities in a base year and expressed as a percentage. 

Formula = 

P01 = ∑p1/∑p × 100

∑p1 = Price of all commodities in the current year

∑p =  Price of all commodities in base year
