    Solution

    Explanation: In case of a lower SLR, the banks have higher amounts to give as credit. Since credit becomes available at a lower rate of interest and puts money in the hands of the people, the demand for goods rises. This may lead to inflation when people have more cash in their hands than the goods produced in the market.
