Solution

The correct option is A increased by Rs 10,000
Accounting Equation is represented as:

Owner's Equity+Liabilities= Assets

Say
10000+8000=18000
If assets increases by Rs.7000 and owner Equity decreases by Rs.3000, than

Rs.7000+Liabilities = Rs.25000
Therefore Liabilities =Rs.18000
Old balance of liabilities =Rs.8000
Hence, liabilities will increase by Rs.10000
