Why does black scholes model only work on European options?
The black scholes equation is a boundary value problem which requires a terminal value condition (i.e. a known value at at known expiry date). As an American option can be excersised at any given time it must be modeled by a free boundary problem, which requires further analysis beyond the standard black scholes equations. You can however use Black scholes on other options eg. Asian
How do you value an option?
Options are valued using a theoretical model known as the "Black Scholes Model". The black scholes model prices options based on what are known as "Greeks", which are mathematical parameters of variables that influences the price of an option. However, this is a theoretical model because it cannot take into consideration the actual supply and demand of an option in the market and such forces does take the price of an option away from their theoretical value.

What kind of concept is black scholes model?
The Black Scholes model is a financial theory developed in 1973. It is used to determine the fair trading price of stock options. It's creators were Fisher Black, Robert Merton, and Myron Scholes.
Black Scholes Why do you think implied volatility from option prices diverge from their theoretical values?
Black-Scholes assumes the returns on prices follows a Normal (Gaussian) distribution. As the markets figured out this isn't the case, traders started demanding more money for options that were further out-of-the-money. This is called the "volatility smile".

There is a violation in an option price given the black scholes opm how would you arbitrage if i a call option is overpriced ii the call is underpriced iii a put option were overpriced?
First of all, an option is considered overpriced or underpriced with an arbitrage opportunity only when it is overpriced or underpriced in relation to its synthetic equal, not when it is overpriced or underpriced in relation to the black-scholes model. The black-scholes model only provides an estimated theoretical price that cannot fully and accurately price in the prevailing implied volatility.Once an option is overpriced or underpriced in relation to its synthetic equal by a margin that is big enough to overcome multiple bid/ask spread loss and commissions loss on multuple legs, all you have to do is to perform a conversion or reversal in order to reap an arbitrage.

How do you valuate an option?
Many ways, but one of the most famous is the Black Scholes Option Formula, from a paper published in 1973 by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes entitled, "The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities."It's not for the faint of heart though, and even that by today's standards would be considered very simplistic (Although still very usable.)While developing my option pricing software I recruited help from economics graduate students from The Haas School of Business Berekley California. They were invaluable.
What are the main defects of the Black and Scholes model?
Black-Scholes makes the following assumptions (which are not valid in reality)constant volatility (not valid in the long term),efficient markets (hence no room for artbitrage),constant interest rates,log-normal returns,the option are imlicitly European and can only be exercized on their expiration dateno commission or transaction costs,and perfect market liquidity.

In option pricing when the binomial result equal to black scholes result?
When the binomial tree has a large numbers of steps (i.e. the time interval between nodes is very small). The spreadsheet in the related link prices options using Black-Scholes analytical equations and a binomial tree. As the number of steps in the binomial tree increase, the results of both approaches becomes equal to many decimal places.
