Given, 2014 2015 Current Assets Rs. 5,00,000 Rs. 3,20,000 Current Liabilities Rs. 3,60,000 Rs. 4,00,000 The decrease in working capital will be:

Rs. 1,20,000
Rs. 2,20,000
Rs. 3,20,000
Rs. 20,000

The correct answer is A. Rs. 1,20,000.

Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. It is a measure of a company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations. A decrease in working capital indicates that a company is having difficulty meeting its short-term obligations.

To calculate the decrease in working capital, we can use the following formula:

Decrease in working capital = Current assets in 2014 – Current assets in 2015 – (Current liabilities in 2014 – Current liabilities in 2015)

= 5,00,000 – 3,20,000 – (3,60,000 – 4,00,000)

= 1,20,000

Therefore, the decrease in working capital is Rs. 1,20,000.

Option B is incorrect because it is the decrease in current assets. Option C is incorrect because it is the decrease in current liabilities.
