The shopkeeper faced a loss of Rs 1000

Explanation:
1. Transaction with lady:
received = Rs. 0 (because the note was duplicate)
gave = Rs. 800 + Goods worth Rs. 200 = Rs. 1000Loss = Rs. 1000

2. Transaction with shopkeeper:
first gave = Rs. 0(as note is duplicate)
and received = Rs. 1000

Then returned = Rs. 1000
So there is no loss or gain here

So final loss = 1000 + 0 = Rs. 1000

Answer 1

C.1000 because rate of goods 200 and shopkeeper returns 800 to lady. Total amount of loss is 100p

Answer 2

HEY .....❤☺❤

⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕

ACTUALLY SHOPKEEPER HAD MADE A LOSS OF RS 2000

BECAUSE.....

HE GAVE GOODS OF 200( WITH NO PROFIT)

+ HE GAVE 800 RS TO CUSTOMER...

+ HE GAVE 1000 RS TO THE OTHER SHOPKEEPER.....

SO 200+800+1,000= 2,000

SO HE ACTUALLY MADE A LOSS OF RS 2,000
