Answer is Rs.1200....if i am wrong..plz correct me...

Twelve hundred.................

Rs .1200 ...../-

 

The Loss is Rs.1000 Only.

 

Rs.1000 taken from Other Shop is returned to that Shop as it is. So No Profit No Loss here.

Rs.800 + Goods of Rs.200 paid to Lady in Exchange of Duplicate Note of Rs.1000 is the Actual Loss.

 

Therefore Total Loss is Rs. 1000/- Only.

The loss is 2000. 1800incash + 200 worth of goods. Though he got back 1000 rupee note from the next shop. its duplicate hence that is also a loss.

2000/- explaination is same as antony

This answer is correct................i m sure 101%

The correct answer is Rs.1000.

As the shopkeeper has paid to the next shopkeeper his own money which he has given at the time of change and taken the money given by the lady which was "Duplicate". Hence, here he is left with the duplicate note of lady which has no value. And shopkeeper has also given Rs.800 in exchange to the lady with the goods of Rs. 200.

So, the loss of goods Rs. 200 and loss of money Rs. 800 which is totalled to Rs.1000.
