The correct answer is option 2- ₹15,480.

Net profit = ₹10,000
Add: depreciation of ₹2,000
Add: transfer to General Reserve ₹3,000
Add: Written off Goodwill ₹700
Less: Profit on sale of Asset ₹300
Operating profit before working capital changes = (10,000 +2,000+3,000+700-300)                                                                                  = 15,400
Less: Increase in Debtors ₹300
Add: Increase in creditors ₹600
Less: Increase in prepaid expenses ₹20
Less: Decrease in outstanding expenses ₹200
Cash flow from operating activities = (15,400 -300 +600 -20-200)
                                                           = 15,480
