    Minimum Required Reserve are 1.33

    Explanation:

    The formula for the calculation of Cash reserve ratio is as follows:

    Cash Reserve Ratio = Reserve Requirement x Bank Deposits

    Cash Reserve Ratio = Reserve Requirement x (Bank deposit + cash in vault)

    8 = Reserve Requirement x (5 + 1)

    8 = Reserve Requirement x 6

    Reserve Requirement = 8/6

    Reserve Requirement = 4/3

    Reserve Requirement = 1.33
