We know that Capital+ Liabilities = Assets

Sum of Assets = Rs.3000 + Rs.5000 + Rs.50,000 +Rs.22,000

                       = Rs.80,000

Sum of liabilities = Rs.10,000 + Rs.15,000

                          = Rs. 25,000

So, by formula : Capital + Rs.25,000 = Rs.80,000

Capital= Rs.80,000 – Rs.25,000 = Rs.55,000
