So here I want to buy DLSR DX body Camera with Lenses DX/FX.So If I want to sell that DX body Camera in future to have FX Camera Body, Which Format Lenses should I Buy with Dx Camera Body which will Both Work in DX and Fx Camera Body.

Yes you can. Nikon DSLRs are fully compatible with DX lenses. In fact, the camera will sense if you are using a DX lens and switch to DX mode. This will result in less resolution as the entire FX sensor is not used in DX mode, but essentially a FX camera mimics a DX camera with a DX lens attached.

If you look at any Nikon FX camera manual, it will tell you the resolution differences between FX and DX mode. For instance, the D800 has a resolution of 37Mp in FX mode, but is reduced to 15Mp in DX mode since it is not using the entire sensor in DX mode.

This should only really be an issue for high quality photography such as portraiture - but you should be using prime FX lenses such as a 85mm lens for portraiture anyway.

Yes. The camera will crop the full-frame (FX) sensor to the size of the crop-sensor (DX) format.

This is something Canon crop-sensor camera owners can't do. Their EF-S lenses are completely incompatible with a full-frame Canon DSLR.

Score 1 for Nikon.
