first ans will be rs6000....clearly it can be seen that goods are unsold and  have to be taken back at cost price.

second ans will be rs 2700 since rs800 goods are already returned and rs3000 being the cost...should be reduced by rs800...thereby stock unsold will be rs3000--rs800= rs2700

Thanks abhishek 4 giving solution
