If you withdraw Rs. 1,00,000 in cash from your Demand Deposit Account at your bank, the immediate effect on the aggregate money supply in the economy will be 

(a) to reduce it by Rs. 1,00,000 

(b) to increase it by Rs. 1,00,000 

(c) to increase it by more than Rs. 1,00,000 

(d) to leave it unchanged 

Answer: d

Explanation:

Money Supply =  CU+DD

CU = Currency with public

DD = Demand Deposits

In the above case if 1 lakh is withdrawn, demand deposit will reduce by 1 lakh and currency held by public will increase by 1 lakh. So there won’t be any immediate change in the money supply in the economy.

Hence, option d is correct.
