bought at a lower price and sold at a higher price. As price increased four times the price movement could have been 9 (Mon), 10 (Tues), 9 (Wed), 10 (Thurs), 11 (fri) and 12 (sat) and he could have bought on mon, wed and fri and sold on tue, Thu and sat. Gain = 10 + 10 + 10 = Rs. 30 At the end of the week he would have Rs. 1030. (Marks: 2.0, Negative Marks : 0.0).

As there is a decrease in the price twice as assuming Somu sold during these decreases. Amount with Somu = 1000 - 10 - 10 + 10 = Rs. 990.

Explanation Amount with Ramu is same for any order of price

i.e. 1000 + 250 = Rs. 1250 Difference = Rs. 260 (Marks: 2.0, Negative Marks : 0.0).
