- Option 1 'For' cannot be used because the phrase 'home for something' is incorrect.
- Option 2 'In' cannot be chosen because 'home in something' does not make any sense in the given context.
- Option 4 'within' cannot be chosen because it does not make the sentence meaningful.
- Option 3 'to' is the best fit. The phrase 'to be home to something' means to be the place where that thing is located or, in the case of living things, where they live.
- Hence option 3 is the answer.

Sum of age of four brothers = 12 × 4 = 48
If the age of their mother is also included, the average is increased by 5 years.
So, the average age of four brothers and their mother is (12 + 5) years or 17 years.
Sum of age of four brothers and their mother = (17 × 5) years = 85 years
∴ Mother's age = (85 - 48) years = 37 years

When a perfect square is divided by 3, the remainder is always 0 or 1.
It is zero when the base number (a in case of a^2) is divisible by 3.
For example - 3² is divided by 3. So, we get 0 as a remainder.
For all other numbers, the square when divided by 3, the remainder is always 1.
When the number is divisible by 3, the remainder is obviously going to be zero.
Let’s say the number is not divisible by 3.
Such a number is always in the form of 3a + 1 or 3a - 1,
for example 4 = 3 × 2 + 1 and 5 = 3× 2  - 1.
Now, when you square 3a + 1,
you get 9a² + 6a + 1.
Now 9a² + 6a = 3×(3a²+2),
therefore that portion is divisible by 3 and what remains (remainder) is 1.
Similarly, when you square 3a - 1, you get 9a² - 6a + 1.
Now 9a² - 6a = 3×(3a²-2),
therefore that portion is divisible by 3 and what remains (remainder) is 1.
Thus, in all situations, we find that the remainder is 1 when the starting number is not divisible by 3.

The positive integers, which are divisible by 5 are 5, 10, 15, ....., 1000
Out of these 10, 20, 30, ......, 1000 are divisible by 2
Thus, we have to find the sum of the positive integers 5, 15, 25, ......, 995
If n is the number of terms in it the sequence then
995 = 5 + 10(n - 1)
⇒ 1000 = 10n
∴ n = 100
Thus the sum of the series = (1st term + last term) × Number of term ÷ 2 
                                           = (5 + 995) × 100 ÷ 2 = 50000

Let Cost Price was y.
or, y + 14% of y = 2850
or, y + 14y/100 = 2850
∴ y = 2500.
So, Cost Price = 2500 taka.
Now, When profit remains at 8%,
Selling Price = 2500 taka + 8% of 2500 taka
                    = 2700 taka.

Number of page copied by (Asif and Tamim) in 1 hour = 300/40 = 7.5 pages;
Asif copied pages in one hour = 50/10 = 5 pages
Hence, Tamim copied pages in one hour = 7.5 - 5 = 2.5 pages
Thus, Tamim can copy 30 pages in  30/2.5 hours or 12 hours

Let AB be the observer and CD be the tower.
Draw BE ⊥ CD
Then CE = AB = 1.6 m
BE = AC = 20√3 m


DE/BE=tan30^∘
or, DE/BE= 1/√3
or, DE√3 = BE
or, DE√3 = 20√3
∴ DE = 20
∴ The heights of the tower = (20 + 1.6) m = 21.6 m

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

Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360^∘
Angle traced by hour hand in 1 hr = 360^∘/12 = 30^∘

Angle traced by hour hand in 4 hrs 20 min
= 30^∘ × 4 hrs 20 min
= 30° × (4 +20/60) hours
= 30° × (4 + 1/3)
= (30 × 13/3)° 
= 130°

Given that, radius, r = 3 cm and height, h = 4 cm
Therefore, volume, V = (1/3) × πr²h
                                  = (1/3) × π × 3² × 4
                                  = 12π cm³

Required HCF
= (H.C.F. of 27, 12, 36 and 21) ÷ (L.C.M. of 10, 25, 35 and 40)

The outlet pipe empties the one complete cistern in 3 hours
Time taken to empty 2/9 part of the cistern
= (2/9) × 3 hour

= 40 minutes

Dividend on 1 share = 50 × 10% = 5
12.50 taka is an income on an investment of 100 taka
5 taka is an income on an investment of (100 × 5/12.50) taka = 40 taka
∴ Cost of 1 share = 40 taka

List price of an article = 2000 taka
After discount,
selling price = 2000 taka × 80% × 90% = 1440 taka

Let principal = 6y
Hence, Amount = 6y × 7/6 = 7y
simple interest = 7y - 6y = y
If time 3 years, then simple interest,
y = 6yr × 3/100 [r = rate of simple interest]
or, r = 50/9

Speed = 132 km/hr = 132 × 5/18 m/s = 110/3 m/s
time = distance/speed = (110 + 165)/(110/3) = 7.5 seconds

Let the speed of the motor boat = 36x kmph and
speed of current = 5x kmph.

The boat goes along with the current in 5 hours 10 minutes
= 31/6 hour.

Hence, Distance = 31/6 × (36x + 5x)
= 31/6 × 41x

Speed of boat upstream
= 36x - 5x
= 31x
Hence, time taken to come back
= 31/6 × 41x / 31x
= 41/6 hours
= 6 hours 50 minutes

If x, y, z and w are all integers greater than 2,
then sum of two numbers is multiplied by sum of other two numbers is the greatest in above mentioned option.

The correct answer is Full moon day.
Lunar Eclipse: A lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow.
- The Earth has to be directly between the Sun and the Moon, and a lunar eclipse can only take place during a full Moon.
Hence, Option 2 is correct.
- First, the Moon moves into the penumbra – the part of the Earth’s shadow where not all of the light from the Sun is blocked out.
- Part of the Moon’s disc will look dimmer than a regular full Moon.
- And then the Moon moves into the Earth’s umbra, where direct light from the Sun is totally blocked out by the Earth.
This means the only light reflecting off the Moon’s disc has already been refracted, or bent, by the Earth’s atmosphere.
Total Lunar Eclipse: During this, the whole of the lunar disc enters the Earth’s umbra, so the Moon appears reddish (Blood Moon).
- This won’t last forever, though.
- After about 14 minutes, the Moon will move out of Earth’s umbra and back into its penumbra.
- In total, the lunar eclipse will last a few hours.
- Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, which gives the lunar eclipse its characteristic reddish color
- On Earth, we see the same effect during sunrises and sunsets, when the sky has a more reddish glow than during the day.
