Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is true.

Solution :
The Quick Ratio, commonly referred to as the Acid-test or Liquidity ratio assesses a company's capacity to meet its short-term obligations by identifying the proportion of its assets that can be quickly converted into cash.
