Total cloth purchased $15\frac{3}{4}m=\frac{63}{4}m$
Cloth given to her sister $=7\frac{1}{3}m=\frac{22}{3}m$
$\therefore$ Cloth left with Soumya $=\frac{63}{4}-\frac{22}{3}$
$=\frac{63}{4}\times \frac{3}{3}-\frac{22}{3}\times \frac{4}{4}$
$=\frac{189}{12}-\frac{88}{12}$ $=\frac{101}{12}$
$=8\frac{5}{12}m$
