Exemption limit is to be first applied to income taxable as per slabs. If the exemption limit is not exhausted against such income then it can be adjusted against capital gain, long & short term. Therefore, you are not liable to tax.

You can adjust any of the two. Adjusting LTCG will be better as it is taxed at @ 20% compared to STCG with STT which is @ 15%. In your case you can adjust both as exemption limit is 2,50,000.
