    Question

    In each of the questions given below, a sentence is given which is divided into four parts A, B, C and D. These four parts may or may not be in their correct position. The sentence is then followed by options with the correct combination of parts that should replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct combination of parts that replace each other. If the sentence is correct as it is, select lsquo;5rsquo; as your option.

    A few weeks ago (A) / the central bank had reduced the

    reverse repo (B) / by a larger percentage than the repo to (C) / decrease the incentive to banks to keep money with RBI (D)
    A Only A-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only B-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only A-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The sentence is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We cannot start with D and hence we eliminate option 3. We also eliminate option 4 because ldquo;A few weeks ago decrease the incentive to bankshellip;rdquo; does not make any sense. Similarly, option 1 and option 2 also result in grammatically illogical sentences. The question sentence is correct as it is. The correct sentence is - A few weeks ago, the central bank had reduced the reverse repo by a larger percentage than the repo to decrease the incentive to banks to keep money with RBI.
