Solution:
1. Fixed base method :

`"Index Number I"=("Price of current year")/("Price of base year") xx 100`

We will find the fixed base index number by taking 2008 as base year
Base Price = 230 for base year 2008
The index number will be taken as 100 for the price 230 in the base year 2008


2. Chain base method :

`"Index Number I"=("Price of current year")/("Price of preceding year") xx 100`

Price for the year 2008 is not given here.
Hence, we will take the index number for 2008 as 100.


3. Fixed base method by taking average of years :

Average price for year `2010,2011` `=(230+250)/2=240`

`"Index Number I"=("Price of current year")/("Average base price") xx 100`



YearPriceFixed base index number
base year `2008`

`=("Price of current year")/("Price of base year") xx 100`
Chain base index number

`=("Price of current year")/("Price of preceding year") xx 100`
Index number by taking
average of price in year `2010,2011`

`=(230+250)/2=240`
as base year price

2009250`250/230 xx 100=108.7``250/230 xx 100=108.7``250/240 xx 100=104.17`

2012270`270/230 xx 100=117.39``270/250 xx 100=108``270/240 xx 100=112.5`
