costing Rs. 105, giving the accountant a Rs. 500 note. He
kept the change, came back a few minutes later and had some
food packed for his girl friend. He gave the accountant a
Rs. 100 note and received Rs. 20 in change. Later the bank
told the accountant that both the Rs. 500 and the Rs. 100
notes were counterfeit.

Answer / satyajit

Rs 1200

Loss in serving food for free : 105
Loss in paying the balence : 395
Loss in preparing food for Girl Friend : 80
Loss in paying the balence : 20

Total Loss : Rs 600

Till here Johny is right but the restaurant also has the
fake currency which they cannot use and has to be considered
as a loss. So the total loss would be

600+ 600 of the counterfeit money= 1200

Answer / sai vignesh

500 & 100 bills r fake hence monetary loss = 600
plus

CHANGES= 395+20
plus the food was given free of cost hence those are losses too
FOOD=105+80

HENCE TOTAL LOSS=(500+100)+(395+105)+(80+20)
=1200

Answer / stephen

ans 600
since both 500 and 100 are counterfeit.
and then accountant gave 395 and 20 change as orignal money
moreover, the amount of food he took is also a loss of the
restaurant..

inference here is he had food free of cost..
further he received the change for the fake currency..

the loss 500+100=1200
i.e 395+105+80+20=100

girl friend food = 80

change = 20

total Loss= 400 + 80 +20 =500

Answer / dean hiller

Let's say restaurant starts with 1000

then it gives guy 395 so then
restaurant has 605 and also has a bad 500 bill
next it give guy 80 back in change
restaurant has 525 and has a bad total of 600

Now, the real question is is the loss 1000-525=475 OR
Are we saying that the restaurants profits would have been
1000+105+20=1125 and so the loss would be 1125-525 = 600

ie. I am not sure what they mean by ignoring the profits(ie.
do we use 1000). The answer
is definitely 600 or 475 ;).

Answer / sowmiya

when the man went in for the first time his bill was
rs.105.so the restaurant loses rs.105----1.
when he went again he gav rs.100 n the bill was rs.80...
but he received rs.20 back...so in this second case the
restaurant loses rs.100-----2.
but we have been instructed to ignore the profit...
so from 1. and 2. we can say that the restaurant loses
rs.205 on whole...
