      D Central Bank is following a tight money policy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Bank Rate is the rate at which the RBI lends to the banks without any security or collateral. An increase in the Bank Rate will make borrowing from the RBI expensive for the Commercial Banks. This will make further lending by these banks to borrowers expensive, which will reduce the overall lending activity and thus the money supply in the economy.
