Correct Answer: Rs 4,00,000


Solution : Answer = Rs 4,00,000

C. Assets = 16,00,000

C. liab = 10,00,000

C.Ratio =1.6:1

Let the amount of the current liab should be paid = $x$

$\frac{16,00,000-x}{10,00,000-x}$ =   $\frac{2}{1}$

16,00,000-$x$ = 20,00,000 - 2$x$

$x$ = 4,00,000

C. liab should be paid = Rs. 4,00,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.
