Solution
The correct option is D Both (a) and (b)
Repo rate relates to the loans offered by the RBI to the commercial banks not without collateral.
Cash reserve ratio refers to the percentage of total demand deposits of the commercial banks which they must keep as cash reserves with the RBI.
In order to control recession, the central bank must reduce both repo rate and CRR so the credit creation capacity of the commercial banks and the money supply in an economy get increased. As a result aggregate demand will also increase.
