Solution

The Efficiency in terms of Receivables in the organisation and liquidity of inventory both are diluting.

This conclusion is drawn based on the data provided. Receivable days have increased from 40 days in 2017 to 75 days in 2019, indicating that it is taking longer for the organisation to collect its receivables. This suggests a dilution in efficiency in terms of receivables.

Similarly, the days of holding inventory have also increased from 80 days in 2017 to 154 days in 2019. This means that the organisation is holding onto its inventory for longer periods before selling it, which suggests a dilution in the liquidity of inventory.

Therefore, both the efficiency in terms of receivables and the liquidity of inventory are diluting.
