Assertion:

National banks have reduced their interest rates by 1.5% on fixed deposits.

RI. They have enough deposits and are not interested in attracting more deposits.

RII. They want to compete with private limited banks.

  • A.Only RI and not RII is the reason for the assertion.
  • B.only RII and not RI is the reason for the assertion.
  • C.either RI or RII, but not both, is the reason for the assertion.
  • D.neither RI nor RII is the reason for the assertion

Answer: D

Correct answer: neither RI nor RII is the reason for the assertion

RI is an assumption about the banks’ own position that nothing in the assertion supports, and a bank flush with deposits has other ways of managing them than cutting rates across the board. RII points the wrong way altogether: a bank competing for depositors would raise its rates, not lower them. Neither is the reason.
