The Answer is (A) - A/R account Reduce.

 

Transfer the money from A/R account  to cash or bank accounts will not affect the current ratio.

current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.

the current assets including cash and A/R, so, the sum of them always the same !! 

 

another point;

collecting money from A/R mean you credited the A/R, so, you reduce the A/R.

the entry as follow:

Dr. Cash (Increase the cash by the amount)

Cr. A/R ( Reduce the A/R by the same amount)

Accounts Receivable will decrease

Current ratio will not affect because the current assets will be the same by increasing cash and decreasing accounts receivable . So option  A  is right .

From my point of understanding I think the answer is (a) A/R Account Reduce, as long as the current ration is equals (Total Current Asset/Total Current Liability) the changes in the ratio will not change because the A/R remains current asset.
