Question

A man (m) bought a product worth rs 200 from the shopkeeper (x). He paid him through a 1000 rs note. Realizing that he did not have change, the shopkeeper x got change for that note from another shopkeeper (y) and paid rs 800 to the man. After a few days, y realized that the note is fake, and this railed at x and took 1000 rs back from him. So in this whole process how much money did x loose in the end?

Answer 1

x loose total of ₹1200

x had to give ₹1000 to y

and m bought ₹200 worth product by giving fake note so it is also a loss.
