CL = 800 crores
CA = 800 X 2.5 times = 2000 croes
Quick ratio = QA/QL = 2000 - 400/800
1600/800 = 2 times
2:1

Note: Current assets are 2.5 times more than current liabilities. Formula for Quick Ratio: Quick assets (by reducing inventory from current assets)/Quick Liabilities (here they haven’t given any additional info about debt or bank O/D)
