Account receivable will be reduced and the cash or bank account will show a corresponding increase. Since AR as well as cash/bank are constitents of Current assets, there will not be any increase or decrease either in Current assets or on working capital (Unless and until cash is used to settle any current liabilities).

The Correct answer is : A- A/R Account will reduce, because the entry will be:

Dr.           Cash 

         Cr.          A/R 

- B & C is not Correct because Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities and the both Cash and A/R are current assets so the total affect of the  previous entry on Current assets will be Zero.

 - D also not correct because the working Capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities 

and the total affect of the  previous entry on Current assets is Zero and no affect on the current Liabilities.
