educational allowance for 3 Childre-3000 it means each child 1OOO rs upto 1200 for one child Is fully exempted ,3Rd child 1000 rs totally taxable because only upto 2 childrens only so third child totally taxable,so answer is 240000+1000+21600-40000=222600
Ravi - Thanks a lot for clarifying it in spite of your work. Appreciate your response.

Why have you deducted 40000? 

Standard deduction u/s 16(ia) is 50000 but I think by mistake he has deducted 40000 i don't know but 50000 should be deducted there
