The Total loss is Rs 2000
- The loss due to grocery bought by the lady = Rs 350
- Lady gives fake Rs 2000 note and gives 350 to shopkeeper and takes 1650.
- When the shopkeeper from next shop comes and ask for his money back the shopkeeper has to pay from own pocket i.e. Rs 350 from the lady and Rs 1650 from his own.
- So actual loss= Rs 350 of grocery + Rs 1650 given to the other shopkeeper= Rs 2000
Therefore the total loss is Rs 2000
