Detailed Solution & Logic
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A/ A और R दोनों सत्य हैं, तथा R, A की सही व्याख्या है।
👉 Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
👉 A और R दोनों सत्य हैं, तथा R, A की सही व्याख्या है।
✅ Explanation
🔹 Assertion (A): TRUE
Financial intermediaries (like banks, NBFCs, etc.) play a key role in transmitting monetary policy to the real economy.
👉 When the central bank (like Reserve Bank of India) changes policy rates, it does not directly affect people. Instead, it works through intermediaries.
वित्तीय मध्यस्थ (जैसे बैंक, NBFCs) मौद्रिक नीति को वास्तविक अर्थव्यवस्था तक पहुँचाने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं।
🔹 Reason (R): TRUE
Financial intermediaries change their lending and deposit rates based on policy rates decided by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).
👉 Example:
- Repo rate ↑ → Loans become costlier
- Repo rate ↓ → Loans become cheaper
वित्तीय मध्यस्थ, MPC द्वारा तय की गई नीति दरों के अनुसार अपने ऋण (loan) और जमा (deposit) दरों को बदलते हैं।
🔗 Why R correctly explains A?
✔ Monetary policy works through a transmission mechanism
✔ Banks adjust interest rates → affects borrowing, spending, investment
✔ This is exactly how policy reaches the real economy
- मौद्रिक नीति सीधे जनता तक नहीं पहुँचती
- बैंक ब्याज दरों में बदलाव करते हैं
- इससे खर्च, निवेश और आर्थिक गतिविधियाँ प्रभावित होती हैं
👉 इसलिए R, A की सही व्याख्या है।
