Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Around 2013, the Wholesale Price Index had the base 2004-05 = 100 (a-3), the CPI for Industrial Workers 2001 = 100 (b-1), the new Consumer Price Index series 2010 = 100 (c-2), and the CPI for Agricultural Labourers 1986-87 = 100 (d-4), giving 3, 1, 2, 4.
These bases have since moved: the WPI to 2011-12, the CPI-IW to 2016, and the all-India CPI to 2012 and then, from February 2026, to 2024.
