1200 is correct answer.

200 for goods,
Rs. 1000 for fake currency.

Shopkeeper took 1000 4m another shopkeeper which he returned back 2 him later.Till now loss is zero.
Now he gave goods worth 200 to lady nd rupees 800 cash...Nd in return got fake note...Hence total loss to him is of rupees 1000...
