24:1

2.5:1

Correct Answer:

0.24:1

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- 0.24:1.

Equity = Shareholder's funds
           = Share Capital + Reserves and Surplus
          = 40,000 + 10,000
           = ₹50,000

Total assets = Current assets + non current assets
                    = 2,05,000

P.R = Shareholder's Fund / Total Assets
     = 50,000/205000
     = 0.24: 1
