SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

86.2

Let the price index in 2016 be P2016 = 116 with base year 2011. Let the price index in 2011 be P2011 when the base year is changed to 2016. We have the relationship: P2016 * P2011 = 100 116 * P2011 = 100 P2011 = 100 / 116 = 0.862 P2011 = 86.2
