Answer

To solve the problem, we need to find out the profit made by the member when the shopkeeper sells an object with a marked price of Rs 50,000 at a price of Rs 40,000, considering the discounts given.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Marked Price (MP)**:
- The marked price of the object is Rs 50,000.

2. **Calculate the Selling Price (SP)**:
- The shopkeeper mistakenly sells the object to the member for Rs 40,000.

3. **Calculate the Discount for Members**:
- The shopkeeper gives a 15% discount to members.
- Discount = 15% of Marked Price = 15/100 * 50,000 = Rs 7,500.

4. **Calculate the Effective Price After Discount**:
- Effective Price = Marked Price - Discount = 50,000 - 7,500 = Rs 42,500.

5. **Determine the Profit Made by the Member**:
- The member pays Rs 40,000 for the object.
- The cost price (CP) for the member is the effective price after discount, which is Rs 42,500.
- Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = 40,000 - 42,500 = -2,500.
- Since the result is negative, it indicates a loss, not a profit.

6. **Conclusion**:
- The member incurs a loss of Rs 2,500 instead of making a profit.

### Final Answer:
The profit made by the member is Rs -2,500 (indicating a loss).
