Answers is Rs. 1000The Shopkeeper Gave Rs.800 to the lady and also goods worth Rs.200 (only this is actual Loss)
Also the shopkeeper had to give Rs.1000 to the Shopkeeper of the next shop but it was the amount he had taken from him in lieu of the Fake Note. (This Nullifies itself - So no profit / loss here )
Hence in total The Shopkeepeer's loss is Rs. 1000
