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


Solution : If we are selling goods for cash, it signifies that we are adding cash to the current asset.
The current ratio will rise as asset values rise.
Selling goods for Rs.25,000 will result in a Rs.25,000 gain in current assets (Cash/Trade Debtors) and a Rs.20,000 decrease in current assets (goods). As a result, current assets will rise by Rs.5,000, which will boost the current ratio.
Hence option 4 is the correct answer.
