A number theory problem by Pratyush Pushkar

Number Theory Level 2

I purchases perfume from a store and gave him a thousand rupee note. The perfume cost Rs.300.

Since the store person have no change, he gets the change from next shop and return me 700 rupees.

After a while, the next shopkeeper comes and told the 1st shopkeeper that the note is a fraud and takes his money back.

How much loss does the 1st shopkeeper have to bear ?


The answer is 1000.

1000

700 rs as the change money+ perfume worth of 300 rs

OR Rs.1000 which he have to give the second shopkeeper. Otherwise he was OK. The Rs.700 he gave was not his money, and Rs. 300 he kept was for the perfume.
