Loss : 2000

Lady’s profit = shopkeeper’s loss

Lady gained 350Rs worth product and 1650 change amount so shopkeeper incurred a loss of 2000

Loss is 4k ,1650+350(worth products) looted by lady and 2000 by another shop keeper by returning fake note to victim shop keeper.
Total loss 1650+350+2000= 4000

Net profit = Net Loss

So, Lady’s profit = 350(goods)+1650(change)
= 2000/-

Rs.0 (Shopkeeper will find some other person to exchange fake note)

This is simplest explanation that I used to give others when I first came across this puzzle few months back.

If the fake note is passed on, there is no loss. If no one takes the currency and the shopkeeper is bound to burn the fake note of ₹2000, he will make a loss of that amount ie. ₹2000.

Total Loss= 350(goods)+ 1650 Change Given to Lady + 2k to other shopkeeper.= 4000

Thats true, but you are missing one 2K transaction, the other shopkeeper had given 2K on the first day itself in actual cash when the original guy exchanged the fake note, so that should be deducted here smile
Basically, we returned the other shopkeeper what he gave us the first day (so that 2K is nullified) and the loss was the amt given to the lady

Shopkeeper’s loss should be somebodys gain. Here the neighbour shopkeeper hadn’t make any loss or gain. The lady made a gain of 350+1650 so shopkeeper’s loss is 2000. If 4000 is the answer who gained remaining 2000?

There could be another explanation too with loss of 350, if we assume that the shopkeeper has only 350 left to return to the other shopkeeper, so he returned that and his only loss was of rupees 350 in the form of stock, the remaining 1650 was borne by the other shopkeeper

Obviously, cash doesn’t have any overdraft facility, but this only works on the assumption that the shopkeeper never had any money of his own

Let’s go step by step -

Transaction between shopkeeper and lady

He gave 350 (grocery)
Kept 350 (money)

Cancelled out.

And then he gave that lady 1650.So loss here is 1650

Transaction btwn Shopkeeper with shopkeeper 2
Loss of 2000

Net loss = 3650

@androgame what about this ?Ye galat h kya koi check kro.

3650 is the total loss of shopkeeper
(2000 other shopkeeper+1650 to lady )
(As he got 350 cash for his product so 350 is always with him)

3650 (2k fake note which he had to return in original to the other shopkeeper is totally from his pocket + 1650 – the amount he returned to the woman from his pocket)

This is very simple 2000 rs loss to shopkeeper only . Let’s make it simple
1- when lady gone after buying some item nobody were in profit or loss and
2- when other shopkeeper exchanged with real one from main shopkeeper. He gave 350real cash+1650 new cash from pocket .
So finally other shokeeper having no profit or loss
Main shopkeeper having 2k Rs loss
Customer having 2k rs profit.
In whole case who thinks that other shopkeeper earned 2k smiley
