Solution : The interest rate that a central bank charges on loans to commercial banks is known as the bank rate. When banks have used up all of their available borrowing assistance, they can borrow money at the punitive rate known as the Marginal Standing Facility from the RBI. The interest rate at which the central bank of a country loans money to commercial banks is known as the repo rate. The interest rate at which the central bank—the RBI in India—borrows funds from commercial banks for a brief period of time is known as the reverse repo rate. (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
