1. As per above question the income of the jagan is

Income from employment = $25000

Capital gain from listed personel property = $8000

As said in the question the loss of $10000 is not available for the current year and cannot carry forward to this year.

So the income for this year = $25000 + $8000 + $6000

= $39000

So the income for this year = $39000.

Answer is option D None of the options are correct.
