    Solution

    Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) is also known as Capital to Risk Assets Ratio (CRAR), is the ratio of a bank's capital to its risk. It is therefore indicative of the capital available with the bank to absorb any losses arising due to any financial or economic risk. It is calculated as the total capital of the bank (tier I + Tier II) divided by the risk weighted assets of the bank.
