Answer 1

Answer:

2000 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

A lady buys grocery worth 350 so ₹350 is a loss for the shopkeeper.

Cash given by lady is Rs 2000. The shopkeeper brings change and returns 350 to the lady. Therefore, Rs 2000 – Rs 350 = Rs 1650

The shopkeeper makes loss worth Rs 1650 because that is the amount of goods the lady bought and by giving the change against the cost of the goods that is ₹ 350 for the grocery cost.

So the total loss for the shopkeeper is Rs 350 + Rs 1650 = Rs 2000

Therefore, a lady buys grocery worth 350 riddle's correct answer is 2000
