What is cash generated from operations? Answer in book 419 254 My answer 3924 10 since I have even taken changes in current assets and current liabilities while calculating cash generated from operations but in book they have just added tax and dividends paid to cash generated from investing activities. Please help.

The cash generated from operations is after adjusting the profit for changes in current assets and current liabilities, so you would only need to deal with them here if you were asked to calculate the net profit (which is not the case in this question). Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
