How to Read These Notes: Colour Legend
A fixed colour code helps you scan quickly.
| Ink / mark | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blue ink | Standard formula, category headings, and the ratio category tree. |
| Red pen | High-error denominators and numerators, slip warnings, the figures students most often swap. |
| Green underline | Ideal benchmarks (2:1, 1:1) and the standard comment that earns the interpretation mark. |
| Yellow shading | The single step the CBSE marker most often penalises, usually a wrong base figure. |
Red ink always marks the figure that decides the mark, so a quick scan for red rebuilds the trap list for the whole chapter.

Best Way to Use These Notes
A two-pass routine gets the most from the eight pages in the final week.
- Pass 1, category then formula: Redraw the Page-1 four-branch tree from memory, then write every member ratio's formula under its branch. This locks classification, which the marker reads first.
- Pass 2, denominators and traps: Recite the high-error definitions aloud, Quick Assets, Net Credit Sales, Cost of Revenue from Operations, then read the Page-8 slip warnings. This protects the marks the chapter actually loses.

Ans. The Current Ratio is Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities and its ideal is 2:1.
