A very simple but confusing puzzle.
A lady buys goods worth Rs.200 from a shop. (shopkeeper is selling the goods with zero profit). The lady gives him Rs.1000 note.
The shopkeeper gets the change from the next shop and keeps Rs.200 for himself and returns Rs.800 to the lady. Later the shopkeeper of the next shop comes with the Rs.1000 note saying “duplicate” and takes his money back.

Good and tricky question......
total loss to shopkeeper will be Rs. 1000,
assume that the note is real and the same thing would have happened in that case there will be no profit and no loss to the shopkeeper. the shopkeeper would have kept that 1000 Rs. and later on he discover that the note is duplicate, so his loss will be only 1000.
other way round. his loss will be goods and money he gave to woman i.e. 200+800=1000.
the money he returned to other shopkeeper was what he borrowed from him.
Hope it helps....
