What is the meaning of "عرفوه"?
What is the meaning of "عرفوه" in the following sentence?
وكم يربح أبوه؟ فإذا عرفوا كل هذا اعتقدوا أنّهم عرفوه
I guess it means "they knew him".
But, it would be "عرفواه".
Is "عرفواه" wrong?
If the word ( They ) means two people , we can say ( عرفاه ) . But if it means several people , it changes to ( عرفوه ) . The verb ( عرفواه ) does not exist in Arabic.

"عرفوه" is right and your meaning is also right.
but to make sense the sentence would be
"وكم يربح ابوه؟فاذا عرفوا كل هذا ما اعتقدوا انهم عرفوه"
