Solution

The repo rate, or repurchase rate, is the interest rate at which the RBI provides short-term loans to banks, using government bonds as collateral. In contrast, the reverse repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI borrows money from banks for a short duration by selling them government bonds. This allows banks to park their surplus short-term funds with the RBI and earn interest on those deposits.
