    Solution

    The currency deposit ratio shows the amount of currency that people hold as a proportion of aggregate deposits. An increase in cash deposit ratio leads to a decrease in money multiplier. An increase in deposit rates will induce depositors to deposit more, thereby leading to a decrease in Cash to Aggregate Deposit ratio. This will in turn lead to a rise in Money Multiplier.
