Guys Answer is Rs.1000/-  

Dear krina, Thanks to end up the whole discussion because some people don't want to accept that the answer is Rs. 1000/- and make their own logics to fix the situation with their systematical answers.
At least, now they think a little bit about this...

Loss is Rs 2000. 

The cost of the goods                           =    X

Excchange currency loss                    =   1000

Total loss is                                            = 1000+X

Thank u friends

The correct answer is Rs. 1800. We cannot ignore the fact that on single duplicate Rs.1000, actual transaction of Rs.2000 is taking place twice. In other words real money worth Rs.2000 is being circulated on fake currency .

The value of good will be nullified since shopkeper1 has already kept real Rs. 200 in his pockect in exchange of good.

Since shopkeper1 returned real Rs.800 to the lady, that is Loss A. Now this transaction happened between shopkeeper1 and the Lady, the liability will come on shopkeeper1 himself. (Since this is a hidden loss, people are ignoring it.)

Now Shopkeeper 1 also has to return real Rs. 1000 to shopkeeper2 which is Loss B. (This is a direct visible loss, which people are considering)

Therefore suming up A+B = 800 + 1000 = 1800 /- is the actual loss.

Answer is very obvious..........Rs. 1000 would be total loss to  the shopkeeper

1000=00

well from loss of rs. 1000 u also hav 2 deduct the profit margin ....lol

Dear all,

It's logical transaciton and think twice before ans, bcoz u r a CA or become a CA.

Actual ans is rs. 2000,

becouse

he sale goods worth rs. 200

then he return return rs. 800 to ledy

and what about duplicate note, he get change from other shopkeeper , so he have to return his 1000 to that shopkeeper

so total loss rs. 2000.

Please note that he received Rs1000 in exchange of the fake note. From this amount he paid to the Lady, not from his hands.

Therefore the total loss to the shopkeeper is Rs1000.

Anyway good question. Thanks to the questionnaire

Correct Anserr is Rs. 800/- as under

1.) Paid Rs 800/- Against duplicate Note --------------- (Loss of 800)

2.) Rs 1000 received from another person assume as a loan because the note is duplicate

and hence he as given loan afterwards

3.) Rs. 200/- is kept against goods sold - there is no profit no loss.

Mathematically

a. Paid to another person --------------- 1000

Add: Paid to buyer --------------------------- 800

         Paid Goods worth -------------------- 200

             Total Loss                                     2000        

Less: Recd from another person------  1000

           Kept Rs. 200 with him- -------------200

Net Loss                                                       800

In nutshell - DUPLICATE NOTE SHOULD NOT BE CALCULATED/ CONSIDERED
