Question: In a school the ratio of boys and girls is 3 : 4 respectively. When 50 girls leave the school the ratio becomes 4 : 5 respectively. How many boys are there in the school? 

Solution: 
Let the number of boys and girls be 3x and 4x respectively

ATQ, 
3x/(4x - 50) = 4/5
⇒ 15x = 16x - 200
⇒ 16x - 15x = 200
∴ x = 200

∴ The number of boys = 3 × 200 = 600

ব্যাখ্যা

Let the speed one train be x and the speed of the second train be y
Length of the first train = Speed × Time = 28x
Length of second train = Speed × Time = 18y

So, {(28x + 18y)/(x + y)} = 26
⇒ 28x + 18y = 26x + 26y
⇒ 2x = 8y

Therefore,
x : y = 4 : 1.

Question: Tea worth Tk. 240 per kg and Tk. 280 per kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 3 : 2 : 5. If the mixture is worth Tk. 300 per kg, the price of the third variety per kg will be:

Solution:
Let the price of the third variety be x Tk. per kg.
The given ratio of the three varieties is 3 : 2 : 5.
For calculation, let the quantities be 3 kg, 2 kg, and 5 kg respectively.

Total weight of the mixture = (3 + 2 + 5) = 10 kg
Total value of the mixture = 10 × 300 = Tk. 3000

According to the question (ATQ),
(3 × 240) + (2 × 280) + (5 × x) = 3000
⇒ 720 + 560 + 5x = 3000
⇒ 1280 + 5x = 3000
⇒ 5x = 3000 − 1280
⇒ 5x = 1720
⇒ x = 1720 / 5
∴ x = 344

∴ The price of the third variety is Tk. 344 per kg.

Question: A sum of money is divided among 6 males and some females in the ratio of the total money received by males to total money received by females as 3 : 1. If each male gets Tk. 600 and each female gets Tk. 1200, how many females are there?

Solution:
Let the number of females be x.

Then,
(600 × 6)/1200x = 3/1
Or, 6/2x = 3/1
Or, 3/x = 3/1

So, 3x = 3
∴ x = 1

We know,
The ratio of Investment x Time = Ratio of Profit
∴ (A's investment x Time) : (B's investment x Time) = Profit of A : Profit of B

∴ (Robi's Investment x Time) : (Rasel's Investment x Time) = Robi's Profit : Rasel's Profit
∴ 40000 x 12 : 50000 x 8 = Robi's Profit : Rasel's Profit
∴ Robi's Profit : Rasel's Profit = 4,80,000 : 4,00,000 = 6:5
∴ Rasel's profit = (5/11) × 187000 = Tk. 85000

In whole mixture, there are:
Water = 3/(3 + 5) portion = 3/8 portion
And Milk = 5/(3 + 5) portion = 5/8 portion

Let, the portion of the mixture to be drawn off and replaced with water = x
So, in x portion mixture there are,
Water = 3/(3+5) portion of x = 3x/8 portion
And
Milk = 5/(3+5) portion of x = 5x/8 portion

As per the question,
(3/8 − 3x/8 + x) : (5/8 − 5x/8) = 1:1
Or, (3 − 3x + 8x)/8 = (5 − 5x)/8
Or, 3 + 5x = 5 − 5x
Or, 5x + 5x = 5 − 3
Or, 10x = 2
Or, x = 2/10
Or, x = 1/5

Answer: The 1/5 portion of the mixture to be drawn off and replaced with water, in order to get the mixture as half milk and half water.

Question: In a mixture with a 5:2 ratio of milk to water, adding 14 liters of water makes the ratio 5:4. What is the original quantity of milk in the mixture?

Solution:
The initial ratio is 5 : 2.
Let ‘b’ be the common ratio.

The initial quantity of milk = 5b liters
The initial quantity of water = 2b liters

Final quantity of milk = 5b liters
Final quantity of water = 2b + 14 liters

Final ratio = 5b : (2b + 14) = 5 : 4

⇒ 20b = 10b + 70
⇒ 10b = 70
⇒ b = 7

Therefore, the initial quantity of milk in the mixture = 5b
= 5 × 7
= 35 liters

Question: A started a business with a capital of Tk. 1,20,000. After some time, B joined the business with Tk. 80,000. At the end of one year, the profit was divided between A and B in the ratio 3 : 1. For how many months did B invest in the business?

Solution:
Let B join the business for X months.
A's investment is for 12 months,
B's for X months.

The ratio of profits is the ratio of (capital × time):
(1,20,000 × 12)/(80,000 × X) = 3/1
⇒ 1,20,000 × 12 = 80,000 × 3 × X
⇒ (1,20,000/80,000) × 12 = 3X
⇒ 1.5 × 12 = 3X
⇒ 18 = 3X
⇒ X = 6
Thus, B joined for 6 months.

Question: How many litres of water should be added to a 65 litre mixture of milk and water containing milk and water in the ratio of 8 : 5 such that the resultant mixture contains 50% water?

Solution: 
Given that, 
The mixture contains 65 litres of milk and water in the ratio 8 : 5.
Total parts = 8 + 5 = 13
Milk = (8/13) × 65 = 40 litres
Water = (5/13) × 65 = 25 litres

Let x litres of water be added.
∴ New water quantity = 25 + x litres
∴ New total mixture = 65 + x litres

The resultant mixture should contain 50% water.
(25 + x)/(65 + x) = 1/2
⇒ 2(25 + x) = 65 + x 
⇒ 50 + 2x = 65 + x 
⇒ 2x - x = 65 - 50 
∴ x = 15 

So 15 litres of water should be added.

Question: The ratio of the present ages of Riyad and his father is 4 : 7. The father’s age at the time of Riyad’s birth was 18 years. Find the father’s present age.

Solution:
Present ratio is 7 : 4
Let actual ages are 7x and 4x.

∴ 7x - 4x = 18
⇒ 3x = 18
∴ x = 6

Hence the father’s present age = 7 × 6 = 42 years

Question: A mixture contains 2/5 of element A and 3/5 of element B. When 5 ml of A is added to the mixture, the proportion of B in the mixture changes to 1/5. What amount of A was originally present in the mixture before the addition was made?

Solution:
Let mixture be x ml.
A = (2x)/5 ml.
B = (3x)/5 ml.

After adding 5 ml of A to mixture, amount of B remained same.
And the mixure be x + 5 ml.

New B = (x + 5)/5

Now,
(3x)/5 = (x + 5)/5
⇒ 15x = 5x + 25
⇒ 10x = 25
∴ x = 2.5

Original amount of A = (2 × 2.5)/5 ml = 1 ml.

When 6 liters of water are added, the new quantity of water becomes = (3x + 6) liters
The new ratio becomes 5 : 5, which simplifies to 1 : 1. This means the amount of milk and water are now equal. 
6x = 3x + 6
3x = 6 
∴ x = 2

So, the initial quantity of Milk = 6 × 2 = 12 liters

Let the time periods of investment be:
TA : TB : TC = ?

Profit = investment × time,
PA : PB : PC = 1 : 2 : 3

So:
IA × TA : IB × TB : IC × TC = 1 : 2 : 3

Substitute investments in ratio form:

Question: In what ratio must water be mixed with milk to gain 20% by selling the mixture at cost price?

Solution:
Let he has to make milk to water ratio 1 : x to earn 20% profit
Let the cost price of milk be C/L

Then According to the question,
C × (x + 1) = C × (120/100)​
⇒ x + 1 = 6/5
⇒ x = 6/5 - 1
⇒ x = 1/5

So milk to water ratio = 1 : x
= 1 : 1/5
= 5 : 1

ধরি,
পাত্রের মিশ্রণের পরিমাণ ৮ লিটার।

মিশ্রণে পানির পরিমাণ ৩ লিটার
মিশ্রণে সিরাপের পরিমাণ ৫ লিটার

পাত্রের পানি ও সিরাপের পরিমাণ অর্ধেক অর্ধেক করতে ক লিটার মিশ্রণ অপসারণ করে পানি দিতে হবে।

ক লিটার মিশ্রণে পানির পরিমাণ ৩ক/৮ লিটার
ক লিটার মিশ্রণে সিরাপের পরিমাণ ৫ক/৮ লিটার

পানি মিশানোর পর,
নতুন মিশ্রণে পানির পরিমাণ হবে  (৩ - ৩ক/৮) + ক লিটার
=(২৪ - ৩ক)/৮ + ক লিটার
= (২৪ + ৫ক)/৮ লিটারনতুন মিশ্রণে সিরাপের পরিমাণ হবে (৫ - ৫ক/৮) লিটার
= (৪০ - ৫ক)/৮ লিটার

শর্তমতে,
(২৪ + ৫ক)/৮ = (৪০ - ৫ক)/৮
বা, ২৪ + ৫ক = ৪০ - ৫ক
বা, ১০ক = ১৬
বা, ক = ৮/৫

৮ লিটার মিশ্রণ ৮ লিটারের সম্পূর্ণ বা ১ অংশ
∴ ৮/৫ লিটার মিশ্রণ ৮ লিটারের (৮/৫)/৮ অংশ
= ১/৫ অংশ

Question: The ratio of present age Anik and Babul is 12 : 7 . After 3 years their ratio will be 30 : 20 then find the present age of Anik? 

Solution:
Let,
present age of Anik = 12x
and present age of Babul = 7x 

ATQ,
(12x + 3)/(7x + 3) = 30/20
⇒(12x + 3) × 20 = (7x + 3) × 30
⇒ 240x + 60 = 210x + 90 
⇒ 30x = 30
⇒ x = 1

∴ Present age of Anik = 12 × 1 years
= 12 years

Question: The monthly salaries of A, B and C are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. If C’s monthly salary is Tk. 1200 more than that of A, then what is B’s annual salary?

Solution:
Let the monthly salary of A, B and C be x, 2x and 3x
If C’s monthly salary is Tk. 1200 more than that of A, then

ATQ,
3x = x + 1200
⇒ 2x = 1200
⇒ x = 1200/2 = 600
∴ x = 600

Then, B’s monthly salary = 2x = 2 × 600 = 1200

∴ B’s annual salary = 1200 × 12 = Tk. 14400
