Mihir sir...You have rightly computed the capital gain in both the  cases but the exemption shall be granted proportionately.i.e the amount invested in proportion to the total consideration shall be applied to the capital gain in order to calculate the exemption..correct me if i m wrong.,thank u

436000 X 852/259

14,34,254
LTCG 3,41,746

Less: U/S 54F

341746 X 250000/1776000

48105

Sale Consideration 34,00,000

Jaspreet is correct. 

Answer no. 1 is 293,639/-

Workings:

Capital gain - Rs. 341,745/- (17,76,000 - 14,34,255)

Reinvesment / net sales x capital gain

250,000 / 17,76,000 x 341,745/- = Rs. 293,639/-

 

Answer no. 2 is 814,000/-

Workings:

Capital gain - Rs. 16,28,000/- (33,32,000 - 17,04,000)

Reinvesment / net sales x  capital

15,00,000 + 166,000 / 33,32,000 x 1628,000/- = Rs. 814,000/-

 

@ Mihir Inflation index for AY 13-14 is 852 so solution will change.

@ Aryan Sec 54 cannot be claimed since it is plot of land and not house property so exemption has to be calimed u/s 54F.

Thank you Mitesh ji and Mihir ji..

Thanks for correcting me,

Haven't read the question well....
