Correct Answer: Reduce


Solution : Suppose, a good for Rs 50,000 is purchased on a credit basis.
Current Assets = Rs.2,00,000 + Rs.50,000 = Rs.2,50,000.
Current Liabilities = Rs.1,00,000 + Rs.50,000 = Rs.1,50,000.
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities = Rs.2,50,000/Rs.1,50,000 = 1.67:1.
Hence, the correct ratio is option 2.
