Answer:
A lady buys goods of 200/- from a shop and gives the shopkeeper a 1000/- note.
The shopkeeper gets change from the next shop and returns 800/- to the lady keeping 200/-.
The other shopkeeper comes back and says the note is fake and takes his 1000/- back.
The shopkeeper returns 1000/- to him.
Therefore, the total amount returned by the shopkeeper is 800 + 1000 = 1800/-.
The total loss of the shopkeeper is 1800/-
