    1. The repo rate is the rate at which other banks borrow from the Reserve Bank of India.
    2. A value of 1 for Gini Coefficient in a country implies that there is perfectly equal income for everyone in its population.
    Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

    A) 1 only                          

    B) 2 only

    C) Both 1 and 2  

    D)        Neither 1 nor 2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Repo Rate is the rate at which commercial banks borrow funds from RBI. A reduction in the repo rate will help banks to get money from the central bank at a cheaper rate. When the repo rate increases borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive. A value of (0) for Gini Coefficient in a country implies that there is perfect equality in the system. If the value is 1 then there is complete inequality in the country.
