Options:

₹1,70,000

₹2,35,000

Correct Answer:

₹2,05,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹2,05,000.

Current Liabilities= Other current liabilities + Short term provision
                        = ₹35,000 + ₹1,70,000
                        = ₹2,05,000

* Short term Provisions = Provision for employee benefits + Provision for taxation
                                  = 20,000+ 1,50,000
                                  = ₹1,70,000

* Other current Liabilities = O/S expense + Calls in advance
                                     = 10,000 + 25,000
                                     = ₹35,000
