Correct Answer: 17150


Solution : the correct answer is (c)17150

To calculate the fiscal deficit, we need to find the difference between the government's total expenditure and total revenue.

Total Expenditure = Revenue Expenditure + Capital Expenditure + Interest Payments

Total Expenditure = 14700 + 17300 + 2350 = 34350

Total Revenue = Revenue Receipts + Capital Receipts net of Borrowings

Total Revenue = 13200 + 4000 = 17200

Fiscal Deficit = Total Expenditure - Total Revenue

Fiscal Deficit = 34350 - 17200 = 17150

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 17150.
