Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- CD.

  Operating cycle in months Expected period when payment is made Liability Reason
A 9 12 Current The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle but less than 12 months so it is a current liability.
B 11 12 Current The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle but less than 12 months so it is a current liability.
C 11 13 Non-current The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle and 12 months so it is a non current liability.
D 18 20 Non-current The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle and 12 months so it is a non current liability.
E 18 16 Current The expected period of payment is less than operating cycle so it is a current liability.
F 10 12 Current The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle but less than 12 months so it is a current liability.

* A liability is treated as current if payment is made within operating cycle or 12 months.

* A liability is treated as non current if payment is made within 12 months if operating cycle is less than 12 months.
