Answer:
If the Consumer Price Index was 186.5 at the end of last year and 179.8 at the end of this year, the country experienced
Inflation = CPI(new) – CPI(old) / CPI(old) * 100
= [179.8 – 186.5 / 186.5]* 100
= [-6.70 / 1.8650] = -3.59%
As the inflation is negative there is deflation of 3.59% in the economy
Hence correct option: B] A deflation rate of 3.59%
