Q46.) U are thinking in opposite direction. Repo rate increases-> Decreases in money supply(the loan avail to bank by RBI will get costlier and thus bank will take less loan and thus money supply will decrease.) Here money supply increase means Decrease in repo rate and thus customer will also get cheap loan i.e interest rate charged by bank will decrease because Banks are also getting cheap lone from RBI.

q39) ForumIAS answer is right!!! watch (first 20-30 minutes) to get clarity
q46) The question is about what will happen so mostly answer should be non of the above!!! (Interest rates may increase not will increase)
Reserve Bank of India decides the SLR rate. However, most banks currently maintain a higher SLR rate than required because Options: a Lack of credible lending options b To make higher profit on interest rate c To control the inflation in the Indian Market d Incomplete KYC norms of most of the Account holders
Consider the following statements regarding the Special Drawing Rights (SDRs)
1. The SDR is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF
2. IMF allocate SDRs to member countries in proportion to their IMF quotas only
3. SDR as a unit of account are concerned solely with the IMF

Options: a 1 only b 1 and 3 only c 2 and 3 only d 1, 2 and 3

I just have seen ur comment. Question 1) Answer should be 'A' . SLR mainly include government bond and securities.
option B is wrong because the rate offered on the government bond is around 8-9 % and which is definitely less than the loan given by the bank to the people and corporate which is around 12-14%. Option C-Bank have no such function of controlling the inflation. Option D-Absurd option. and we all now that NPA is a huge problem for bank . so , they can't lend to the industries and if they don't give loan to anyone then how they will pay back the interest rate to current and saving account holder . Thus, they invest in government bond(SDR). so that at least they can earn at least 8-9 % interest if not 12-14%. Question has been picked from last year Economic survey.
2 Question 1st statement is correct. 2nd is wrong because it counts the openness of the economy too. 3rd , i don't know. so, the answer should be either A or B and i want to go with A.

I think answer to ques-1 is A and your logic is correct bcz the question says banks are maintaining higher SLR CURRENTLY...that means this question is framed keeping in mind the present NPA problem.. and this may not be always the case...my bad I did not read the question carefully.
