Correct Answer:

Current Ratio & Liquid Ratio

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Current Ratio & Liquid Ratio.

Liquidity ratios are calculated to measure the short-term solvency of the business, i.e. the firm’s ability to meet its current obligations. These are analysed by looking at the amounts of current assets and current liabilities in the balance sheet. The two ratios included in this category are current ratio and liquidity ratio. Current ratio is the proportion of current assets to current liabilities. Quick ratio is the ratio of quick (or liquid) asset to current liabilities.
