1) Yes you can set off loss from shares against LTCG.

2) under sl no 1 you can set off STCL against LTCG.
Under sl no 2 you can also set off LTCL against LTCG

You may set off such losses only if the assets are short term capital assets. In other words, long term capital loss can only be set off against long term capital gain.
