Hello Divya,
MBA is not advisable since it is completely a different field. You should opt for law, since it will help you with CS.
Even if you dont study after CS it is sufficient, since passing CS is a big deal.
You can work under a practicing CS to learn, and then you could decide about the future career path.

There are no set correct answers to these questions. Please understand that the interviewers are veterans in interviewing and a not-so-genuine answer can be easily identified by them. Hence, the key lies in introspecting about your life and coming up with your life story that inspired you to do MBA. That would get you the answer to why MBA. Coming to short term goal and long term goal, short term goal can be to successfully graduating from top IIMs and long term can be to gain expertise in your favorite specialization (do your homework beforehand). Mentioning long term goal to be CEO/MD of any company is not recommended as one can't be that specific within a given timeline and hence, can lead to backlash.
