A car starts at A and reaches a destination in 8 hours. If it travels first and second half at the speed of 80 km/hr and 100 km/hr respectively then the distance between A and destination is -
  1. ক) 818.25 km
  2. খ) 979.50 km
  3. গ) 711.11 km
  4. ঘ) 850 km
ব্যাখ্যা

Let,
The distance between A and destination be X
The total time taken by the car to cover X = 8 hours
Since X/2 by 80km/hr and remaining X/2 by 100km/hr
Then by Time = distance/speed, we have
(X/2)/80 + (X/2)/100 = 8
⇒ 1/2 {(X/80 + X/100)} = 8
⇒ X/80 + X/100 = 16
⇒ (5X + 4X)/400 = 16
⇒ 5X + 4X = 6400
⇒ 9X = 6400
⇒ X = 6400/9
⇒ X = 711.11
Hence 711.11 km is the required answer.

A man runs at a speed of 7 km per hour and he increases his speed every hour by 1 km per hour. In how many hours will he cover 19.5 km?
  1. ক) 1(1/4) hours
  2. খ) 2(1/2) hours
  3. গ) 3(1/3) hours
  4. ঘ) 3 hours
ব্যাখ্যা

The man starts with 7 kmph
Distance covered in first 1 hour = 7 km
He increases his speed every hour by 1 km.
Speed in 2nd hour = 8 km/hr
Distance covered in 2nd hour = 8 km
Remaining distance = 19.5 - (7 + 8)
19.5 - 15
= 4.5 km
Speed in the third hour = 9 km/hr
Time taken to cover 4.5 km at 9 km/hr
= 4.5/9
= 1/2 hour.
Therefore,
Total time = 1 + 1 + (1/2) hours = 2 (1/2) hours.
Hence, the answer is 2(1/2) hours.

.
After travelling 50km, a train is meeting with an accident and travels at (3/4)th of the usual Speed and reaches 45 min late. Had the accident happened 10km further on it would have reached 35 min late. Find the usual Speed?
  1. ক) 20 km/hr
  2. খ) 25 km/hr
  3. গ) 30 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 32 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Here there are 2 cases
Case 1: accident happens at 50 km
Case 2: accident happens at 60 km
Difference between two cases is only for the 10 kms between 50 and 60.
Time difference of 10 minutes is only due to these 10 kms.
In case 1, 10 kms between 50 and 60 is covered at (3/4)th Speed.
In case 2, 10 kms between 50 and 60 is covered at usual Speed.
So the usual Time 't' taken to cover 10 kms, can be found out as below.
(4/3)t – t = 10 mins [s = vt]
⇒ t = 30 mins, d = 10 kms
so usual
Speed = Distance/Time
= 10/30min
= 10/(1/2) km/hr.
= 20 km/hr.

.
A man travels from his home to the office at 4km/hr and reaches his office 20 min late. If the Speed had been 6 km/hr he would have reached 10 min early. Find the distance from his home to office?
  1. ক) 8 km
  2. খ) 12 km
  3. গ) 9 km
  4. ঘ) 6 km
ব্যাখ্যা

Let,
The distance between home and office =d
Suppose he reaches the office on Time,
the Time taken = a minutes
Case 1: When he reaches office 20 minutes late,
Time taken = a + 20
Case 2: When he reaches office 10 minutes early,
Time taken = a - 10
As the distance traveled is the same,
The ratio of Speed in case 1 to the Speed in case 2 will be the inverse of the Time taken in both cases.
Ratio of Speed in both cases = 4:6
= 2:3
Ratio of Time in both cases = 3:2
Therefore,
(a + 20)/(a -10)= 3/2
⇒ 2a + 40 = 3a -30
⇒ 3a - 2a = 40 + 30
⇒ a = 70 minutes.
Taking case 1,
4= d/(90/60)
⇒ d= 360/60
= 6 km.

Pipe 1 and pipe 2 can fill a cistern in 2 and 6 hours respectively. Pipe 3 can empty the cistern in 9 hrs. If all the pipes are opened together find the time taken to fill the cistern.
  1. ক) 1.5 hrs
  2. খ) 1.4 hrs
  3. গ) 1.8 hrs
  4. ঘ) 1.6 hrs
ব্যাখ্যা

Pipe 1 can fill 1/2 of the cistern in 1 hour
Pipe 2 can fill 1/6 of the cistern in 1 hour
Pipe 3 can empty 1/9 of the cistern in 1 hour
According to the question,
Time taken to full the cistern = 1/2 + 1/6 - 1/9
= 5/9
5/9 of the cistern will be filled in 1 hour.
Full cistern will be filled in = (5/9)/1
= 9/5 x 1
= 1.8 hours

.
Two taps can fill a cistern in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. If both the taps are opened simultaneously then the approximate time taken to fill the cistern is -
  1. ক) 17(1/7) minutes
  2. খ) 12(1/5) minutes
  3. গ) 19(1/2) minutes
  4. ঘ) 21(1/4) minutes
ব্যাখ্যা

We know that,
Two pipes A and B can fill (or empty) a tank in X and Y minutes respectively, while working alone.
If both the pipes are opened together,
then the time taken to fill (or empty) the cistern is given by XY/(X+Y) minutes.
Here,
X = 30 minutes and Y = 40 minutes
Therefore,
the required time = (30 x 40)/(30 + 40)
= 1200/70
= 120/7
= 17(1/7) minutes.
Hence the answer is 17(1/7) minutes.

.
A Pipe P can fill a tank in 16 minutes and the other pipe Q can empty the whole tank in 32 minutes. If both P and Q are opened simultaneously then the time taken to fill the tank is -
  1. ক) 16 minutes
  2. খ) 32 minutes
  3. গ) 48 minutes
  4. ঘ) 40 minutes
ব্যাখ্যা

Let X hours be the time taken to fill a tank by P.
Let Y hours be the time taken to empty the tank by Q.
Then the time taken to fill the tank when P and Q are switched together : XY/(Y - X) hours.
Here, X = 16 minutes And Y = 32 minutes
Therefore,
Required time = (16 × 32)/(32 - 16)
= (32 × 16)/16
= 32 minutes.

.
Three taps A,B and C are used to fill a cistern. Tap A alone can fill the cistern in 9 minutes. Tap B can fill in 6 minutes and Tap C can fill in 3 minutes. How many minutes will it take to fill this cistern if all the three taps are used simultaneously?
  1. ক) 2(3/7)
  2. খ) 1(7/11)
  3. গ) 3(2/11)
  4. ঘ) 5(6/7)
ব্যাখ্যা

Let the time taken to fill the cistern by 3 taps A, B and C be X, Y, and Z minutes respectively.
Then the short cut formula for,
Time taken to fill the tank when all the pipes are opened = XYZ/(XY + YZ + ZX) minutes
Here, X = 9 minutes, Y = 6 minutes and Z = 3 minutes.
Now the required time = {(9) × (6) × (3)}/{(9 × 6) + (6 × 3) + (3 × 9)} minutes
= (9 × 6 × 3)/(54 + 18 + 27)
= (9 × 6 × 3)/9{6 + 2 + 3}
= 6 × 3/(6 + 2 + 3)
= 18/11
= 1(7/11) minutes
Hence the answer is 1(7/11) minutes.

.
Pipe X can fill a cistern thrice as fast as another pipe Y and the pipe Y is thrice as fast as pipe Z. If X, Y and Z together fill the cistern in 10 minutes then the time taken by X to fill the cistern is -
  1. ক) 1 hour and 42 minutes
  2. খ) 2 hours and 10 minutes
  3. গ) 1 hour and 23 minutes
  4. ঘ) none of these
ব্যাখ্যা

Let,
The pipe Z alone takes A minutes to fill the tank.
Given that,
Y is thrice as fast as Z.
Then, Y takes A/3 minutes to fill the tank.
And, X is thrice as fast as Y.
X takes (A/3)/3 = A/9 minutes to fill the tank.
Now,
Part filled by X in 1 minute = 9/A
Part filled by Y in 1 minute = 3/A
Part filled by Z in 1 minute = 1/A
Net part filled by (X+Y+Z) in 1 minute = 9/A + 3/A + 1/A
= 13/A
(X+Y+Z) take 10 minutes to fill the cistern.
Part filled by (X+Y+Z) in 1 minute = 1/10
Thus,
We have,
1/10 = 13/A
⇒ A = 13 × 10
⇒ A = 130
Therefore, Z alone takes 130 minutes
So, X can fill the cistern in 130/9 minutes.
Hence, the correct answer is - ঘ) none of these

Half of the water tank is filled manually. Tap A can fill the tank in 20 minutes and B can empty the tank in 12 minutes. If A and B are opened together, then the time taken to empty or fill the tank is -
  1. ক) 30 minutes
  2. খ) 15 minutes
  3. গ) 60 minutes
  4. ঘ) 45 minutes
ব্যাখ্যা

Given that,
A takes 20 minutes to fill and B takes 12 minutes to empty
Clearly,
tap B is faster than tap A.
And so, the tank will be emptied.
Half of the tank or 1/2 part of the tank is already filled.
Therefore,
we have to find the time taken to empty that 1/2 part.
Part filled by A in 1 minute = 1/20
Part emptied by B in 1 minute = 1/12.
Part emptied by (A + B) in 1 minute
= (1/12) – (1/20)
= (5 - 3)/60
= 1/30.
Therefore,
The time taken by (A + B) to empty the full tank is 30 minutes.
Time taken to empty 1/2 part of the tank is
= 30/2
= 15 minutes.

A monkey climbing up a pole ascends 6 meters and slips 3 meters in alternative minutes. If the pole is 60 meters high, how long will it take the monkey to reach the top?
  1. ক) 31 miles
  2. খ) 33 miles
  3. গ) 35 miles
  4. ঘ) 37 miles
ব্যাখ্যা

Net height ascended in 2 min = (6 - 3) m = 3 m.
Net height ascended in 36 min = (3/2 × 36) = 54m.
In the 37th min,
the monkey ascends 6m and reaches the top.
Hence,
Total time taken = 37 minutes.

১২.
A train leaves Dhaka at 4.10 P.M. and reaches Mymensingh at 7.25 PM. The average speed of the train is 40 km/hr. What is the distance from Dhaka to Mymensingh?
  1. ক) 120 km
  2. খ) 130 km
  3. গ) 135 km
  4. ঘ) 140 km
ব্যাখ্যা

Time taken,
7.25 P.M. - 4.10 P.M. = 3 hr. 15 min.
= 3 × (15/60) hrs.
= 3(1/4) hrs.
= (13/4) hrs.
∴ Required distance = {40 × (13/4)} km.
= 130 km.

১৩.
A man takes 6 hours 30 min in going by cycle and coming back by scooter. He would have lost 2 hours 10 min by going on cycle both ways. How long would it take him to go by scooter both ways?
  1. ক) 2 hr 40 min
  2. খ) 3 hr 20 min
  3. গ) 4 hr 20 min
  4. ঘ) 2 hr 20 min
ব্যাখ্যা

Let,
The distance be x km.
Then,
Time taken to cover x km by cycle + Time taken to cover x km by scooter = 6 hr 30 min
⇒ (Time taken to cover 2x km by cycle) + (Time taken to cover 2x km by scooter) = 13 hrs
But,
Time taken to cover 2x km by cycle = 8 hr 40 min.
∴ Time Taken to cover 2x km by scooter = 13 hrs - 8 hr 40 min
= 4 hr 20 min.
Hence, required time = 4 hours 20 min.

১৪.
A is faster than B. A and B each walk 24 km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr. And the sum of times taken by them is 14 hours. Then A’s speed is equal to -
  1. ক) 3 km/hr
  2. খ) 4 km/hr
  3. গ) 5 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 6 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Let,
A's speed = x km/hr.
Then,
B's speed = (7 - x) km/hr.
So,
24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14
⇒ {24(7 - x) + 24x} = 14x(7 - x)
⇒ 168 - 24x + 24x = 98x - 14x2
⇒ 14x2 - 98x + 168 = 0
⇒ x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
⇒ x2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
⇒ x(x - 4) - 3(x - 4) = 0
⇒ (x - 3) (x - 4) = 0
⇒ x = 3 or x = 4
Since A is faster than B, so A's speed = 4 km/hr and B's speed = 3 km/hr.

১৫.
A car covers the first 39 kms of its journey in 45 minutes and covers the remaining 25 km in 35 minutes. What is the average speed of the car?
  1. ক) 40 km/hr
  2. খ) 48 km/hr
  3. গ) 49 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 64 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Total distance travelled = (39 + 25)
= 64 km
Total time taken = (45 + 35)
= 80 min.
= (80/60) hr.
= (4/3) hr.
∴ Average speed = {64 × (3/4)} km/hr
= 48 km/hr.
Hence, the average speed of the car is 48 km/hr.

A plane flying north at 500 mph passes over a city at 12 noon. A plane flying east at the same altitude passes over the same city at 12 : 30 P.M. The plane is flying east to 400 mph. To the nearest hundred miles, how far apart are the two planes at 2 P.M.?
  1. ক) 600 miles
  2. খ) 962 miles
  3. গ) 1020 miles
  4. ঘ) 1166 miles
ব্যাখ্যা


Distance covered by the first plane till 2 P.M.
i.e., in 2 hrs = (500 × 2) miles
= 1000 miles.
Distance covered by the second plane till 2 P.M.
i.e., in 1(1/2) hrs = (400 × 3/2) miles
= 600 miles.
∴ Required distance
= AB =√{(1000)2 + (600)2}
=√(1000000 + 360000)
=√1360000
= 200√34 miles
= 200 × 5.83
= 1166 miles.

১৭.
An aeroplane flies from place A to place B at the speed of 500 km/hr. On the return journey, its speed is 700 km/hr. The average speed of the aeroplane for the entire journey is -
  1. ক) 566(2/3) km/hr
  2. খ) 583(1/3) km/hr
  3. গ) 583(2/3) km/hr
  4. ঘ) 600 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Average speed = {(2 × 500 × 700)/(500 + 700)} km/hr
= (1750/3) km/hr
= 583(1/3) km/hr.
Hence, The average speed of the aeroplane for the entire journey is 583(1/3) km/hr

১৮.
A man’s speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man’s speed against the current is -
  1. ক) 8.5 km/hr
  2. খ) 9 km/hr
  3. গ) 10 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 12.5 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

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.

১৯.
A man decided to cover a distance of 6 km in 84 minutes. He decided to cover two-thirds of the distance at 4 km/hr and the remaining at some different speed. Find the speed after the two third distance has been covered -
  1. ক) 5 kmph
  2. খ) 7 kmph
  3. গ) 9 kmph
  4. ঘ) 3 kmph
ব্যাখ্যা

Given that,
Two thirds of the 6 km was covered at 4 km/hr
i.e. 4 km distance was covered at 4 km/hr.
Time taken to cover 4 km = 4 km/(4 km/hr)
= 1 hr
= 60 minutes
Time left = (84 – 60) minutes.
= 24 minutes
Now,
The man has to cover remaining 2 km in 24 minutes
or 24/60
= 2/5 hours
Speed required for remaining 2 km
= 2 km/(2/5)hr
= 5 km/hr.

২০.
While covering a distance of 24 km, a man noticed that after walking for 1 hour and 40 minutes, the distance covered by him was 5/7 of the remaining distance. What was his speed in meters per second?
  1. ক) 1(1/3) m/s
  2. খ) 1 (2/3) m/s
  3. গ) 1 m/s
  4. ঘ) 2 (1/3) m/s
ব্যাখ্যা

Let,
The speed is x km/hr.
Then,
Distance covered in 1 hr. 40 min
i.e., 1(2/3) hrs. = 5x/3 km.
Remaining Distance = {24 - (5x/3)}
∴ 5x/3 = 5/7{24 - (5x/3)
⇒ 5x/3 = 5/7{(72 - 5x)/3}
⇒ 7x = 72 - 5x
⇒ 12x = 72
⇒ x = 72/12
⇒ x = 6.
Hence, Speed = 6 km/hr
= {6 × (5/18)} m/s
= 5/3 m/s
= 1(2/3) m/s.

A man wishes to cross a river perpendicularly. In still water, it takes 4 minutes to cross the river, but in the flowing river, it takes 5 minutes. If the river is 100 meters wide, the velocity of the flowing water of the river is -
  1. ক) 10 m/min
  2. খ) 15 m/min
  3. গ) 20 m/min
  4. ঘ) 20 m/min
ব্যাখ্যা

Velocity of the river = [100 √{(1/42) - (1/52)}] m/min
= [100 √{(1/16) - (1/25)}] m/min
= 100{√(9/400)} m/min
= 100 × (3/20) m/min
= 15 m/min.

An UberX car charges Tk. 40 as base fare, Tk. 3.6 for each 0.2 of a kilometre and Tk. 180/hour as the travelling time charge. What will be the fare for a 6 kilometre trip if the travelling time is 110 minutes.
  1. ক) 230
  2. খ) 340
  3. গ) 460
  4. ঘ) 478
ব্যাখ্যা

Base fare = Tk. 40
Distance Charge = Tk. 3.6 per 0.2 km = Tk. 18 per km
Travelling Time Charge = Tk. 180/1 hour
= 180/60
= Tk. 3 per minute
Total Distance = 6 kms
Total Time = 110 mins
Total Charge = Tk. 40 + Tk. (6 × 18) + Tk. (110 × 3)
= Tk. 478.

A father and a son started for a shop at the same time. In one minute, the son moved 20 steps forward and in the same time, the father moved 30 steps forward. In one step the son covered 1 ft. and the father covered 1.5 ft. If the son reached the store 10 minutes after his father, what was the distance of the store in ft?
  1. ক) 280
  2. খ) 240
  3. গ) 360
  4. ঘ) 320
ব্যাখ্যা

ধরি,
Distance of store = x feet
Now, Distance covered by son in one minute = 1 × 20
= 20 ft. and
Distance covered by father = 30 × 1.5
= 45 ft.
∴ Time taken by son = x/20 minutes = Time taken by father = x/45 minutes.
∴ x/20 = x/45 + 10
⇒ (x/20 - x/45) = 10
⇒ (9x - 4x)/180 = 10
⇒ 5x = 1800
⇒ x = 1800/5
⇒ x = 360 ft.

AC = 40 × 4
= 160 km
BD = 35 × 4
= 140 km
BC = 200 - 160
= 40 km
AD = 200 - 140
= 60 km
∴ CD = 200 - BC - AD
= 200 - 40 - 60
= 100 km
Hence, 100 km apart will the two cars be after four hours of continuous travelling.
