    A Rs.150,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.1,40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1,60,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1,70,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs.1,20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For arriving at the cash flow from operating activities, increase in current assets are subtracted, while decreases are added. Here the debtors is a current asset which has increased by Rs.10,000 (Rs.120,000-Rs.110,000). As such, the operating cash = net profit - increase in debtors = Rs.1,50,000 – 10,000 = Rs.140,000.
