Answer the following question based on the information given below.

Abdul and Bikram and Chetan are three professional traders who trade in shares of a company $\text{XYZ}$ Ltd. Abdul follows the strategy of buying at the opening of the day at $10$ am and selling the whole lot at the close of the day at $3$ pm. Bikram follows the strategy of buying at hourly intervals $10$ am, $11$ am, $12$ noon, $1$ pm and $2$ pm, and selling the whole lot at the close of the day. Further he buys an equal number of shares in each purchase. Chetan follows a similar pattern as Bikram but his strategy is somewhat different. Chetan’s total investment amount is divided equally among his purchases. The profit or loss made by each investor is the difference between the sale value at the close of the day less the investment in purchase. The “return” for each investor is defined as the ratio of the profit or loss to investment amount expressed as a percentage.

On a day of fluctuating marketing prices, the share price of $\text{XYZ}$ Ltd, ends with a gain i.e., it is higher at the close of the day compared to the opening value. Which trader got the maximum return on that day?

  1. Bikram
  2. Chetan
  3. Abdul
  4. Bikram or Chetan
  5. cannot be determined
