Correct Answer: Assertion (A) is False and Reason (R) is true.


Solution : Debentures that must be redeemed in the current year will be considered current liabilities, and as a result, their redemption will reduce current liabilities and current assets by the same amount, however, the impact on current assets will be greater. As a result, the current ratio will increase.
Hence option 4 is the correct answer.
