#GENIUSActPass The Shirt Deal Dilemma 👕

I bought a shirt worth ₹1000. I gave the shopkeeper a ₹2000 note.

He didn’t have change, so he got change from the store next door.

He returned ₹1000 to me and kept ₹1000 for the shirt.

Later, the other shopkeeper came back, saying the ₹2000 note was fake.

So, I returned ₹2000 to him.

Let’s count my loss:

I gave back ₹2000 for the fake note.

I also gave away the shirt worth ₹1000.

That’s a total loss of ₹3000.

But wait! I only ever received ₹1000 from the buyer and he kept the shirt.

How is my loss ₹3000?

Where’s the mistake in the calculation? 🧠
