Solution
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation:
The Liquid (Quick) Ratio is more dependable than the Current Ratio since it only includes liquid assets such as cash, bank accounts, debts, and so on that can be swiftly changed into cash. Inventory is removed because it can take longer to sell and generate cash. As a result, both assertion and reason are true, and reason accurately explains assertion.
