Ans – (d)

Explanation:-

Credit creation is determined by initial deposits and LRR (Legal Reserve Ratio)

The legal Reserve Ratio consists of two components:

1. Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
2. Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR)

For example

Initial Deposits = ₹ 5,000

LRR = 10%

Total Credit Creation = Initial Deposits × 1/LRR

Total Credit Creation = 5,000 × 1/10%

Total Credit Creation = 5,000 × 10

Total Credit Creation = ₹ 50,000
