Agree with the above replies....the bid rate will always be less than ask because you sell currency at bid and buy it at ask from the dealer....the dealer is sitting to make profits which will happen only if he buys from you at a lower rate and sell to you at higher...

Your 2nd interpretation is correct. The bid rate should is 83.30 & ask rate is 83.80.. the bid rate is always less than the ask rate.

I THING ALL ABOVE ANSWERS ARE WRONG....BID 83.80 AND ASK 84.10 .....AND I M SURE ABOUT THIS..... |  |
Sachin you are wrong...... 0.30 never gets added,,,,,, Please recheck your answer.....
Suppose if 83.80/00 is given.... Then do you mean that bid is 83.80 and ask is also 83.80.... No it cannot be same..... It should be interpreted as bid as 83.80 and ask as 84.00 in this example of mine..... I hope you have understood.....

It's Bid- 83.80 & Ask 84.30. Bid rate (i.e. Buying rate) can not be higher than Ask Rate (Selling rate) because it is not possible that one, say Bank, will buy a currency at a higher amount & sell the same at lower Rate.
