    Solution

    Hypothecation is a financial arrangement where a borrower pledges an asset as collateral for a loan, while retaining possession of the asset. The lender has the right to seize and sell the asset if the borrower defaults on the loan   Hypothecation is commonly used in cases like vehicle loans . For example, when a borrower takes out a car loan, the borrower pledges the car as collateral to the bank. The bank keeps the car as security until the loan is paid off. The borrower retains physical possession of the car, but the bank technically "holds" it .
