Options:

2:1

1.5:1

3:1

1:1

Correct Answer:

1:1

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- 1:1.

CURRENT ASSETS = Inventories   + Trade Receivables  + Cash & Cash Equivalents + Prepaid Expenses
                            = 25,000 + 45,000 + 10,000 + 30,000
                            = ₹1,10,000

Liquid assets = Current assets - prepaid expenses - inventory
                      = 1,10,000 - 30,000 -25,000
                      = ₹55,000

Current Liabilities = Short term Borrowings  + Trade Payables
                            = 25,000 + 30,000
                            = ₹55,000

Liquid ratio = Liquid assets/Current liabilities
                   = 55,000/55,000
                   = 1:1
