Once a man steals Rs.100 note from the shop. Later he purchases good of worth Rs.70 from the same shop using that note. The shopkeeper gives back Rs.30 in return.
How much did shopkeeper loose in the case?
Do you think Rs.130? Or anything else?
What's the case history?
So did you just answer Rs.130 ? No, that's not correct!
Thief initially steals Rs.100 note. Now imagine instead of Rs.100 he steals goods of worth Rs. 70 + Rs.30 (given by shopkeeper). So eventually, the shopkeeper lost only Rs.100 in the process.
In other words, the thief exchanges Rs.70 with the goods in the case. He pays for those goods to shopkeeper. So he looses Rs.70 from stolen Rs.100 & gains back via goods.
So eventually, the shopkeeper lost only Rs.100 in the case.
