Question:

How will Reserve Bank of India react in order to control inflation in the economy?

Options:

Decrease reverse repo rate

Decrease repo rate

Increase bank rate 

All of the above

Correct Answer:

Increase bank rate 

Explanation:

Inflation is a situation when there is excess money supply in the economy, so in order to deal with that money supply has to be reduced. When we increase the bank rate it will lead to gradual increase in the rate of interest. This will discourage the people to take loan and eventually reduce their purchasing power. When purchasing power is reduced inflation automatically comes into place.
