Question : Assertion (A): Current Ratio = Current Assets- Stock /Current Liabilities
Reason (R): If current Assets are 5,25,000, including inventory of 2,00,000 (including Loose Tools 75,000) and working capital is 2,25,000, Current Ratio will be 1.5 : 1
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is correct.
Correct Answer: Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is correct.
Solution :
Current Asset =5,25,000-75,000 = 4,50,000
Current liability = Current Asset - Working Capital
Current liability = 5,25,000-2,25,000 = 3,00,000
Current Ratio = Current Assets /Current Liabilities=4,50,000/3,00,000=1.5:1
Hence option 4 is the correct answer.
