This looks easy but it is not because everyone will arrive at a different answer… 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 geniuses… How much has the Shopkeeper lost in total? A. ₦1200 B. ₦2000 C. ₦1000 D. ₦1800 E. ₦2200

1000

#2000

he lost #1000, cause the rest is just his normal business.

#1,000

All he did was help the lady in replacing a counterfeit #1,000 with a genuine one from the other shopkeeper in the form of #800 change and #200 worth of goods. He then had to replace the counterfeit #1,000 with other shopkeeper with a genuine one in his possession and consequently had to destroy the counterfeit one by his own hand.

I guess he lost N2000

This is because he destroyed a counterfeit money worth of N1000 plus N800 balance he gave to the customer and N200 worth of product he sold. Making it N2000 lost
