    10%

    Explanation:

    Open market operations is a measure used by central bank to expand or contract money supply in the banking system and influence interest rate by selling securities to bank or buying from bank.

    Required reserve ratio = total reserve / total checkable deposit * 100

    required reserve ratio = 5 / 50 * 100 = 10%
