If you're referring to the original iPad 2, no; it's incapable of running 10 or above.
If you're referring to an iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro 2, no; they can only be updated to iOS 13.2.3.
If you're referring to an iPad mini 2, yes.

While the original post mentions iPad 2, the system information line refers to a second generation iPad Pro, so it's not clear which one this thread is about, and just 'No' is premature.

No.
An over 8-1/2-year old, 2011 iPad 2 ( 2nd generation ) cannot go beyond iOS 9.3.5.
These older iPads are simply too old, too underpowered and NOT compatible with newer versions of iOS.
