Rs 15,000.<\/p>\n<p>Retained earnings is the portion of a company&#8217;s net income that is not paid out as dividends to shareholders. It is a component of a company&#8217;s equity, and it is reported on the balance sheet.<\/p>\n<p>The dividend paid during the current year is a deduction from retained earnings. This means that the retained earnings balance at the end of the current year is equal to the retained earnings balance at the beginning of the year plus the net income for the year minus the dividend paid.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the retained earnings balance at the beginning of the year is Rs 25,000, the retained earnings balance at the end of the year is Rs 35,000, and the dividend paid during the current year is Rs 5,000. Therefore, the net income for the year is equal to Rs 35,000 &#8211; Rs 25,000 &#8211; Rs 5,000 = Rs 15,000.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because it is the amount of the dividend paid during the current year.
