Answer:-
Option A. 350
Calculation:-
A lady buys grocery worth Rs.350 so the 350 Rs is loss for the shopkeeper.
Cash given by lady is Rs 2000. Shopkeeper brings a change and returns it to lady = Rs 2000 – Rs 350 = Rs 1650.Here, the shopkeeper makes losses worth Rs 1650 by giving the change against the cost of the goods and Rs 350 for the grocery cost.
the shopkeeper makes losses worth Rs 1650 by giving the change against the cost of the goods and Rs 350 for the grocery cost.So, the total loss for the shopkeeper is Rs 350 + Rs 1650 = Rs 2000
the total loss for the shopkeeper is Rs 350 + Rs 1650 = Rs 2000Therefore, A Lady Buys Grocery Worth 350 correct answer is 2000.

Answer:
Rs. 3650
Step-by-step explanation:
Currently shopkeeper has goods worth Rs. 350
Total loss right now = Rs. 0
Profit right now = Rs. 0
Shopkeeper gives grocery worth Rs. 350 and Rs. 1650 as change from the other shopkeeper which makes a total of Rs. 2000 loss from the lady.
Total loss right now = Rs. 2000
But as he gave away the change to the lady, he received Rs. 350 from the other shopkeeper
Total money he has right now = Rs. 350
Now, the other shopkeeper comes and takes his amount which Rs. 2000
Total money he takes = Rs. 1650 from the shopkeeper and Rs. 350 which he lent
Shopkeeper makes a total loss of Rs. 1650 to this shopkeeper which he paid from his pocket
Total loss right now = Rs. 2000 + Rs. 1650 = Rs. 3650
