Given:

Amount invested in stock market = $500

Amount gained in first week = $200

So, Total amount after 1st week = $(500+200) 

= $700

Amount got doubled in the 2nd week, 

So, Total amount after 2nd week = $700 × 2

= $1400

Amount lost in 3rd week = $650

So, Total amount after 3rd week = $(1400 - 650)

= $750

 

Thus, the man had $750 after the 3rd week.
