Correct Answer: Current liabilities are Rs 1,00,000 and working capital is Rs 1,50,000


Solution : Answer = Current liabilities are Rs 1,00,000 and working capital is Rs 1,50,000.

Current Assets = 3,00,000

Now, Current Assets = 3,00,000 - 50,000 = 2,50,000

New Current Ratio = 2.5:1

C. Ratio= $\frac{\text{Current Assets}}{\text{Current Liab}}$

$\frac{2.5}{1}$= $\frac{2,50,000}{\text{Current Liab}}$

Current liab.= $\frac{2,50,000}{2.5}$= 1,00,000

New Working Capital = New current assets - New current liabilities. = 2,50,000 - 1,00,000 = 1,50,000.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
