Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
The rate at which RBI gives short term loans to commercial banks against securities is known as the Repo rate. A reduction in the repo rate helps banks to get money at a cheaper rate.
When the repo rate increases, borrowing from the central bank becomes more expensive. In contrast, the reverse repo rate is the rate at which banks can park surplus funds with RBI.
