A very simple but confusing puzzle..!!
.
.
A lady buys goods worth Rs.200 from a shop.
(shopkeeper selling the goods with zero profit)
..
The lady gives him Rs. 1000/- note.
The shopkeeper gets the change from the next
shop and keeps 200 for himself and returns
Rs.800 to the lady.
...
Later the shopkeeper of the next shop comes
with
the Rs. 1000/- note saying "duplicate" and takes
his
money back.
.
.
How much LOSS did the shopkeeper face..??

200rs....
Because lady say x(for eg),shop keeper say y.
x->=1000rs
y->=200rs
y give money return to x (800rs with no profit)
so shop keeper lost 200rs..
I think it is correct nor not means post my profile at correct answer...
