5 times

6 times

Correct Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

Trade Payables Turnover ratio = Net Credit purchases/ Average trade payable
                                            = 600000/150000
                                            = 4 Times

* Net credit purchases = 620000 - 20000
                                  = ₹600000

* Average creditors and B/P = (100000 + 140000 + 25000 + 35000)/ 2
                                         = ₹150000
