Suppose pipe A alone takes x hours to fill the tank.
Then, pipes B and C will take x/2 and x/4 hours respectively to fill the tank.
∴ 1/x + 2/x + 4/x = 1/5 ⇒ 7/x = 1/5
⇒ x = 35 hours

CP of 1 orange
= Tk.34/8
= Tk.4.25
SP of 1 orange
=Tk. 57/12
=Tk.4.75
Profit on each apple
= (4.75 - 4.25)
= Tk. 0.50
∴ Number of apples required
= 45/ 0.50 =90

C.P.= (100/122.5)x 392
= (1000/1225)x 392
= 320
Profit =(392-320)=72.

CP× (76/100) = 912
CP = 12 × 100
=> CP = 1200

Required ratio:
= (65×8):(70×4)
= 520:280
= 13:7

Given: Speed of the person = 5 km/hr,
length of train = 100 m,
speed of train = 60 km/hr
Speed of train relative to walking person = (60–5) = 55 km/hr
Convert km/hr into m/s
55 km/hr = 55 x(5/18) = 15.27 m/s
Distance to be covered by the train = 200 + 100 = 300 m
Therefore, time taken by the train to cross the person = Distance over speed =300/15.27 = 19.64 sec

Relative speed
= (45+30) km/hr
= 75x(5/18) m/sec
= 125/6 m/sec.
We have to find the time taken by the slower train to pass the DRIVER of the faster train and not the complete train.
So, distance covered = Length of the slower train.
Therefore, Distance covered = 500 m.
Required time =500x(6/125) = 24 sec.

Man's speed with the current = 15 km/hr
=> speed of the man + speed of the current = 15 km/hr
Speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr
Hence, speed of the man = 15-2.5 = 12.5 km/hr
Man's speed against the current
= speed of the man - speed of the current
= 12.5-2.5 = 10 km/hr

Here,
A : B : C
= (20,000 x 24) : (15,000 x 24) : (20,000 x 18)
= 4 : 3 : 3.
So, B's share = 25000 x 3/10 = 7,500.

Suppose B joined after x months
21000 × 12 = 36000 × (12 - x)
⇒ 36x = 180
⇒ x = 5

Let C = x. Then A = (x—20) and B = (x—40).
so, x + x - 20 + x - 40 = 120 Or, x=60. s
o, B's share = (60-40)= Tk. 20

Let the interest rate be r%
We know that, S.I = PTR/100
=> (1540 x 5 x r)/100 + (1800 x 4 x r)/100 = 1788
=> r = 178800/14900 = 12%

Let C's age be x year.
Then, B's age = 2x year.
A's age = (2x + 2) year.
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27
5x = 25
=> x = 5
Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 year.

LCM of 30, 36, 80 = 720
Number = 720 × K + 11 (K = 2)
Then the number = 720 × 2 + 11 = 1440 + 11 = 1451

Let the integers be x and (x + 5)
Then, ⇔x(x+5)=500
⇔x2+5x−500=0
⇔(x+25)(x−20)=0
⇔x=20
So, the numbers are 20 and 25

Radius of incircle
=a/2√3
=42/ 2√3

Area of incircle

Number of ways of attempting 1st, 2nd, 3rd question are each.
Total number of ways 4³ = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64
Number of ways, getting correct answers = 1³ = 1
∴ Number of ways of not getting all answer correct = 64 - 1 = 63
