Explanation of Solution

The opportunity cost for holding the amount of money is the interest rate. As the interest rate increases, the opportunity cost of holding money will increase.  This implies that people are discouraged to hold money to reduce the opportunity cost and people demand lower quantity of money. Because when he holds the money, he loses the interest that could have been earned. If the interest rate is lower, the opportunity cost of holding money increases and demands more quantity of money. This will increase the velocity or the circulation of money in the economy.
