QUESTION OF THE DAY!
If you get the answer right, You are a super
genius. A lady bought goods
worth #200 and paid the shopkeeper with a #1000
Note.
The Shopkeeper had no change on him so he went to another Shopkeeper John his neighbour and collected
#1000 change in #200 denominations, with which
he settled the lady and she left.
A little while later, John came back angrily after he
discovered the #1000 note he was given by the
shopkeeper was fake, and demanded a replacement. To avoid trouble, the shopkeeper had to give John
another #1000 and destroyed the counterfeit which
had no real value. So Question for the genius...
How much has the Shopkeeper lost in total

The change he gave the woman and the value of the goods she bought. That is to say #1000

The goods worth 200 plus the change he gave the woman 800 plus the 1000 he refunded john the neighbour minus 200 left from the changeleft from the change collected from the neighbour ie 200+800+1000=2000, 2000-200=1800. So the shopkeeper lost 1800 in total...
