As of

Explanation / Answer

Current ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

It indicates liquidity position of the company.

In 2011,

Current Ratio = 1,182,925/870,570 = 1.3588

In 2012,

Current Ratio = 1,364,251/986,880 = 1.3824

% Change in Current Ratio = (1.3824 - .3588)/1.3588 = 1.74% ---> Option A. Answer
