Dear student, 

(a) Revenue deficit = Revenue expenditure - Revenue receipts
                               = 100 - 70 =Rs 30 crore
(b) Fiscal deficit = Revenue expenditure + Plan capital expenditure + Non-plan capital expenditure - Revenue receipts - Capital receipts net of borrowings
                          = 100 + 120 + 80 - 70 - 140= Rs 90 crore

(c) Primary deficit = Fiscal deficit - Interest payments
                              = 90 - 30 = Rs 60 crore
