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

Solution :
The ability of a business to create money (profit) in relation to sales, balance sheet assets, operating costs, and shareholders' equity over a given time period is measured and evaluated by analysts and investors using profitability ratios.
The utilization of a firm's resources efficiently to produce profit is evaluated with the aid of profitability ratios, such as the gross profit ratio, operating ratio, operating profit ratio, net profit ratio, and return on investment ratio.
Hence option 1 is the correct answer.
