The buyer paid sum of Rs 2000

To Find :

Total cost of shoes pair to shopper

Solution :

∵ Buyer paid sum of Rs 2000

And , The cost of shoes pair = Rs 350

∴ The change return to buyer from shopper = Rs 2000 - Rs 350

                                                                         = Rs 1650

Again

The Rs 2000 note is counterfeit ,

But shopper lend paid new Rs 2000 to other lender

So, Loss amount to shopper = Rs 2000 + Rs 1650

                                                       = Rs 3650

As The price of shoes pair = Rs 350

∴   Total loss amount to shopper = Rs 3650 + cost of shoe pair

                                                      = Rs 3650 + Rs 350

                                                     = Rs 4000

Hence, The total cost to the shopper is Rs 4000  Answer
