Current assets/current liability = 1.5/1 Expected current ratio=2:1 So to get this Ratio by paying off some of the liabilities we need to know If current asset 600000 is equal to ratio 2 then current liability should be 2/2=1 i.e. 600000/2=300000 So liabilities to be paid off = 400000-300000=100000

The amount paid should be Rs200000 Because by paying Rs200000 current liabilities will reduce and become Rs200000 and as payment is made in cash or by cheque current assets will also reduce by the same amount and become Rs400000 So the ratio of CA:CL=2:1
