Ans : 1-c, 2-a, 3-b, 4-c
Explanations:
Que-1: Assets other than cash and other assets are rate sensitive. Hence 400000-27600-12400 = 360000
que-2: Liabilities other than capital, reserves and current accounts are rate sensitive. Hence, 400000-4000—24000-120000 = Rs. 252000 cr
Que-3: Interest sensitive assets are more than interest sensitive liabilities i.e. 360000 Hence, there is positive gap
Que-4: Tier-1 capital comprises reserves and capital. Hence 4000 + 24000 = 28000 cr
