Solution

Cash Reserves Ratio (CRR) refers to the proportion of total deposits of the commercial banks which they must have kept as cash reserves with the central bank in the form of cash.
The cash reserve ratio is determined by the central bank so that it can be used as a quantitative instrument to control the amount of credit creation by the commercial banks at the time of inflation or deflation in the economy.
During inflation, the cash reserve ratio is increased to reduce the total money supply in the economy by reducing the amount of credit creation by the commercial banks and during deflation, the cash reserve ratio is decreased to increase the total money supply in the economy by increasing the amount of credit creation by the commercial banks
