(ii) reduce 
(iii) not alter
from the transactions given below.
Repayment of a Current Liability.

Options:

Improve

Reduce

Not alter

None of these

Correct Answer:

Improve

Explanation:

Repayment of a Current Liability:
Suppose, the current liability amounts to 2,00,000 and the current asset ₹100000. And current liability of ₹50000 is repaid.
*So, after ₹50,000 is repaid,
the revised current ratio will be :
Current asset= 2,00,000-50,000 (Cash)= ₹150000
Current liability= 1,00,000-50,000 (Liability)= ₹50000
Current Ratio = 150000/50000
                       = 3:1
