There are 1001 used car sellers, and Let's say the value they give is $0, $100, $200, $300, ... , $9900, $ 10000(that is, their willing price).

There are many buyers who value each car higher than its current owner. For example, a car worth $3700 to a seller is worth $4700 to a buyer. In this case, obtain a balanced price. In other words, look for a price from the buyer's point of view that they think they deserve to buy based on information about the seller they have.

The seller’s value of a car with quality θ is θ. (Thus, market supply is S(p) = 100p for 0 ≤ p ≤ 1 and S(p) = 100 for p > 1.) Each of 50 buyers values a car...
