Question: In a school, students may bring breakfast, buy it, or may not eat breakfast. If 1/4 of the students bring breakfast, 1/7 don't eat breakfast, and 187 buy it, how many students bring breakfast?

Solution:
Let,
Total number of student = x
The students bring breakfast = x/4
The students don't eat breakfast = x/7
The students buy breakfast = 187

ATQ,
x/4 + x/7 + 187 = x
⇒ x - x/4 - x/7 = 187
⇒ (28x - 7x - 4x)/28 = 187
⇒ 28x - 11x = 187 × 28
⇒ 17x = 187 × 28
⇒ x = (187 × 28)/17
∴ x = 308

∴ The students bring breakfast = x/4 = 308/4 = 77

The average height of 8 students is 150 cm. If a new student joins and the average height becomes 152 cm, what is the height of the new student?
  1. 168 cm
  2. 158 cm
  3. 120 cm
  4. 108 cm
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: The average height of 8 students is 150 cm. If a new student joins and the average height becomes 152 cm, what is the height of the new student?

Solution:
The average height of 8 students is 150 cm.

∴ Total height of the 8 students = 8 × 150 = 1200 cm

And
When a new student joins, the total number of students becomes 9, and the new average height is 152 cm.

∴ Total height of the 9 students = 9 × 152 = 1368 cm

So the height of the new student is = (1368 - 1200) = 168 cm.

The average age of the children in a tour group is 12 years and that of the adults is 32 years. If the average age of the entire tour group is 20 years, find the ratio of children to adults in the group.
  1. 3 : 2
  2. 2 : 3
  3. 1 : 2
  4. 3 : 1
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The average age of the children in a tour group is 12 years and that of the adults is 32 years. If the average age of the entire tour group is 20 years, find the ratio of children to adults in the group.

Solution: Average age of children = 12 years
Average age of adults = 32 years
Average age of the entire group = 20 years

Let, the number of adults = A
and, the number of children = C

Then, the total number of people in the group is (C + A)

ATQ,
12C + 32A = 20(C + A)
Or, 12C + 32A = 20C + 20A
Or, 32A - 20A = 20C - 12C
Or, 12A = 8C
Or, C : A = 12 : 8
Or, C : A = 3 : 2

∴ The ratio of children to adults in the group is 3 : 2.

  4. 26.67
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: The average of 8 numbers is 28. If 4 more numbers , with an average 24 are added to the numbers, what will be the average of the combined 12 numbers?

Solution:
Sum of the first 8 numbers is,
Total sum = Average × Number 
= 28 × 8 = 224
And the sum of the next 4 numbers is,
= 24 × 4 = 96
∴ The total sum of all 12 numbers is,
224 + 96 = 320

∴ New Average = Total Sum/Total Numbers​
= 320/12
= 26.67

In a class, 1/4 of the male students is equal to 3/5 of the female students. What fraction of the students in the room is female?
  1. 4/15
  2. 7/20
  3. 5/17
  4. 8/21
  5. None
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: In a class, 1/4 of the male students is equal to 3/5 of the female students. What fraction of the students in the room is female?

Solution:
Let the number of male students be m
And the number of female students be f.

Given that,
(1/4)​ of the male students = (3/5)​ of the female students 
⇒ (1/4)m = (3/5)f 
∴ m = (12/5)f   ; [Cross-multiply]

∴ Total students = m + f = (12/5)f + f 
= (12f + 5f)/5
= 17f/5

∴ Fraction of students that are female = f/(m + f) = f/(17f/5) = 5/17

So the fraction of students that are female is 5/17.

If the mean of 5 observations x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, and x + 8 is 11, then the mean of the last three observations is -
  1. 11
  2. 13
  3. 15
  4. 17
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If the mean of 5 observations x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, and x + 8 is 11, then the mean of the last three observations is -

Solution:
ATQ,
{x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8)}/5 = 11
⇒ 5x + 20 = 55
⇒ 5x = 55 - 20
⇒ x = 35/5
∴ x = 7

So, the numbers are 7, 9, 11, 13, 15

Required mean = (11 + 13 + 15)/3
= 39/3
= 13

The average of six numbers is 30. If the average of first four is 25 and that of last three is 35, the fourth number is:
  1. 30
  2. 28
  3. 25
  4. 20
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The average of six numbers is 30. If the average of first four is 25 and that of last three is 35, the fourth number is:

Solution:
Given that,
Average of 6 numbers = 30
∴ Sum of 6 numbers = 6 × 30 = 180

Average of first 4 numbers = 25
∴ Sum of first 4 numbers = 4 × 25 = 100

And, Average of last 3 numbers = 35
∴ Sum of last 3 numbers = 3 × 35 = 105

∴ Fourth number is = (Sum of first 4 + Sum of last 3) - Total sum
= (100 + 105) - 180
= 205 - 180
= 25

So the fourth number is 25.

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The average wages of a worker during a fortnight comprising 15 consecutive working days was Tk. 90 per day. During the first 7 days, his average wages was Tk. 87 per day and the average wages during the last 7 days was Tk. 92 per day. What was his wage on the 8th day?

Solution:
The total wages earned during the 15 days that the worker worked ,
= 15 × 90
= Tk. 1350

The total wages earned during the first 7 days
= 7 × 87
= Tk. 609

The total wages earned during the last 7 days
= 7 × 92
= Tk. 644

Total wages earned during the 15 days,
= wages during first 7 days + wage on 8th day + wages during the last 7 days.

ATQ,
1350 = 609 + wage on 8th day + 644
⇒ wage on 8th day = 1350 - 609 - 644 = Tk. 97
∴ wage on 8th day = Tk. 97

7 জন বালকের মোট বয়স = (27 × 7) বছর 
= 189 বছর 

১ম 3 জন বালকের মোট বয়স = (25 × 3) বছর 
= 75 বছর 

শেষ 3 জন বালকের মোট বয়স = (29 × 3) বছর 
= 87 বছর 

6 জন বালকের মোট বয়স = (87 + 75) বছর 
= 162 বছর 

মাঝখানের বালকের বয়স = (189 - 162)  বছর 
= 27 বছর

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: The average of six consecutive numbers A, B, C, D, E and F is 62. What is the sum of B and F?

Solution:
Let the Numbers A, B, C, D, E, F be x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4, x + 5.
According to question, 
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5 = 62 × 6
⇒ 6x + 15 = 372
⇒ 6x = 372 - 15 = 357
⇒ 6x = 357
⇒ x = 59.5

∴ B = x + 1 = 60.5 
∴ F = x + 5 = 64.5

∴ B + F = 60.5 + 64.5 = 125

Question: The average of 13 numbers is 68. If the average of the first 7 numbers is 63 and that of the last 7 numbers is 70, find the 7th number.

Solution: 
ধরি, সপ্তম সংখ্যাটি x

প্রথম সাতটি সংখ্যার গড় ৬৩ 
প্রথম সাতটি সংখ্যার সমষ্টি (৬৩ × ৭) = ৪৪১
প্রথম ছয়টি সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = ৪৪১ - x

শেষ সাতটি সংখ্যার গড় ৭০ 
শেষ সাতটি সংখ্যার সমষ্টি (৭০ × ৭) = ৪৯০
শেষ ছয়টি সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = ৪৯০ - x

সাতটি সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = ৪৪১ - x + ৪৯০ - x + x
= ৯৩১ - x 

গড়, (৯৩১ - x)/১৩ = ৬৮
⇒ ৯৩১ - x = ৬৮ × ১৩ 
⇒ ৯৩১ - x = ৮৮৪ 
⇒ x = ৯৩১ - ৮৮৪ 
∴ x = ৪৭

অতএব, সপ্তম সংখ্যাটি ৪৭

চূড়ান্ত মিশ্রণ ৩ কাপ, এবং রাইসা ১ কাপ মিশ্রণ যোগ করেছে।
তাই, জারে প্রাথমিকভাবে ছিল, 3 - 1 = 2 কাপ

জারে অলিভ অয়েল, ভিনেগার এবং পানি সমপরিমাণ ছিল। ধরি, প্রতিটির পরিমাণ x কাপ।

তাহলে,
⇒ x + x + x = 2
⇒ 3x = 2
∴ x = 2/3

সুতরাং, জারে প্রাথমিকভাবে ছিল,
অলিভ অয়েল = 2/3​ কাপ
ভিনেগার = 2/3​ কাপ
পানি = 2/3​ কাপ

আবার,
রাইসার যোগ করা অলিভ অয়েল 1/2 কাপ
জারে অলিভ অয়েল = 2/3​ কাপ

∴ জারে মোট অলিভ অয়েল আছে = (2/3) + (1/2) = (4 + 3)/6 = 7/6 কাপ

∴ চূড়ান্ত মিশ্রণে অলিভ অয়েল আছে = (7/6)/3 = 7/18 অংশ

Question: If the average of four consecutive odd integers is x, then in terms of x, which is the smallest among the following options?

Solution:
Let the four consecutive odd integers be represented by  n, n + 2, n + 4, n + 6. 
Their average is calculated by summing them and dividing by 4, which equals x. 

Their average is,
x = {(n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) + (n + 6)}/4
⇒ x = (4n + 12)/4 = 4(n + 3)/4
⇒ x = n + 3
∴ n = x - 3

So the smallest integer in terms of (x - 3).

  1. ক) Tk. 3550
  2. খ) Tk.3250
  3. গ) Tk. 4550
  4. ঘ) Tk. 4250
ব্যাখ্যা
Average monthly income of P and Q = Tk. 4000
Average monthly income of Q and R = Tk. 3250
Average monthly income of P and R = Tk. 3500
Total income of P + Q
= 2 × 4000
= Tk. 8000.....(i)

Total income of Q + R
= 2 × 3250
= Tk. 6500 .....(ii)
Total income of R + P
= 2 × 3500
= Tk. 7000.....(iii)
On adding equation (i) (ii) and (iii), we have
2 (P + Q + R) = 8000 + 6500 + 7000
⇒ P + Q + R = 21500/2
⇒ P + Q + R = Tk. 10750.....(iv)

By equation (iv) - (ii)
P's monthly income
= Tk.(10750 - 6500)
= Tk. 4250

A + B = (40 × 2) = 80.................(ii)
B + C=(43 × 2) = 86.................(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii),
we get: A + 2B + C =80 + 86
A + 2B + C =166 .....(iv)

Subtracting (i) from (iv),
we get:
A + 2B + C - (A + B + C) = 166 - 135 
B = 31

∴ B's weight =31 kg.

  2. 65
  3. 58
  4. 50
  5. 55
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: The average of three consecutive multiples of 5 is 50. What is the largest of these multiples?

Solution:
Let the three consecutive multiples of 5 are, 5x, 5x + 5, 5x + 10

Average = 5x + (5x + 5) + (5x + 10)​/3
= (15x + 15)/3

As per question;
⇒ (15x + 15)/3 = 50
⇒ 15x + 15 = 150
⇒ 15x = 135
⇒ x = 135/15 = 9
∴ x = 9

So, the largest multiple is = 5x + 10 = 45 + 10 = 55.

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The mean weight of 100 students in a class is 46 kg. The mean weight of boys is 50 and of girls is 40 kg. Therefore, the number of boys is-

Solution:
Given that, 
Total students = 100
Mean weight of all students = 46 kg
∴ Total weight of all students = 100 × 46 = 4600 kg.

Let,
The number of boys = x. Then, the number of girls = 100 - x 
Mean weight of boys = 50 kg,
∴ total weight of boys = 50x
And, 
Mean weight of girls = 40 kg,
∴ total weight of girls = 40(100 - x)

ATQ,
50x + 40 × (100 - x) = 4600
⇒ 50x + 4000 - 40x = 4600
⇒ 10x = 4600 - 4000
⇒ x = 600/10
∴ x = 60

So the number of boys is 60.

  2. খ) 30 years
  3. গ) 80 years
  4. ঘ) 100 years
ব্যাখ্যা
The average age of A, B and C is 30 years. Therefore, the total age of (A + B + C) = 3 × 30 = 90 years
age of (B - A) = age of (C - B)
age of (A + C) = age of 2B
age of (2B + B) = 90
age of 3B = 90
age of B = 30 years 
age of D = age of (B + 40) = (40 + 30) years = 70 years
Therefore, age of ( B + D) = (30 + 70) years = 100 years

Question: Person 1 to 4 receive equal shares of an income, while Person 5 receives half of what each of Persons 1 to 4 receives. If the total income is 18000 taka, how much does Person 5 get?

Solution: 
Let the amount each of Persons 1 to 4 receives = x taka.
Then Person 5 receives = x/2 taka.

ATQ,
Total income = amount received by all 5 persons
⇒ x + x + x + x + (x/2) = 18000
⇒ 4x + x/2 = 18000
⇒ (8x + x)/2 = 18000
⇒ 9x/2 = 18000
⇒ 9x = 36000
⇒ x = 36000/9
∴ x = 4000

Therefore, Person 5 receives = x/2 = 4000/2 = Tk. 2000

The average weight of 17 students is 90 kg. If the weight of teacher is also included, then the average weight is increased by 200 grams. Find the weight of the teacher?
  1. ক) 93.6 kg
  2. খ) 94 kg
  3. গ) 93.4 kg
  4. ঘ) 94.6 kg
ব্যাখ্যা

Total weight including teacher = 18 × 90.2 = 1623.6 kg
Total weight of 17 students = 17 × 90 = 1530 kg
So, weight of the teacher = 1623.6 – 1530 = 93.6 kg

Question: The average of 17 numbers is 45. The average of first 9 of these numbers is 51 and the last 9 of these numbers is 36. What is the ninth number?

Solution:
Total of 17 numbers = 17 × 45 = 765
Total of first 9 numbers = 9 × 51 = 459
Total of last 9 numbers = 9 × 36 = 324

∴ Tenth number = ( 459 + 324) - 765
= 783 - 765
= 18

The average of a, b, c is 6 and a - b = 4, ab = 21, what is the value of c?
  1. ক) 4
  2. খ) 16
  3. গ) 28
  4. ঘ) 4
ব্যাখ্যা
The average of a, b, c is 6
∴  (a + b + c)/3 = 6
⇒ a + b + c = 18
a - b = 4
and ab = 21
⇒ a = 21/b

Therefore,
a - b = 4
⇒ 21/b - b = 4
⇒ 21 - b2 - 4b = 0
⇒ b2 + 4b - 21 = 0
⇒ b2 + 7b - 3b - 21 = 0
⇒ b(b + 7) - 3(b - 7) = 0
⇒ (b + 7)(b - 3) = 0
⇒ b = 3, - 7
Therefore,
(a + b + c) - (a - b) = 18 - 4 
⇒ 2b + c = 14
⇒ c = 14 - 2b
⇒ c = 14 - 2 × 3 = 14 - 6 = 8 (when b = 3)
⇒ c = 14 - 2 × ( - 7) = 14 + 14 = 28 (when b = -7)
---------------------------------------------------------
a, b, c এর গড় 6 ও a - b = 4, ab = 21 হলে, c এর মান কত?

a, b, c এর গড় 6
∴  (a + b + c)/3 = 6
⇒ a + b + c = 18
a - b = 4
এবং ab = 21
⇒ a = 21/b
অতএব, 
a - b = 4
⇒ 21/b - b = 4
⇒ 21 - b2 - 4b = 0
⇒ b2 + 4b - 21 = 0
⇒ b2 + 7b - 3b - 21 = 0
⇒ b(b + 7) - 3(b - 7) = 0
⇒ (b + 7)(b - 3) = 0
⇒ b = 3, - 7
অতএব, 
(a + b + c) - (a - b) = 18 - 4 
⇒ 2b + c = 14
⇒ c = 14 - 2b
⇒ c = 14 - 2 × 3 = 14 - 6 = 8 (যখন b = 3)
⇒ c = 14 - 2 × ( - 7) = 14 + 14 = 28 (যখন b = -7)

Question: The average weight of three friends is 35 kg. None of the friends weighs less than 33 kg. What can be the maximum weight of any of the three friends?

Solution:
Here,
The average weight of three friends is 35 kg

∴ Total weight of three friends = (35 × 3) kg 
= 105 kg

Minimum weight of two friends (33 × 2) kg
= 66 kg

∴ The maximum weight of any three friends is (105 - 66) kg
= 39 kg
