If x, y, and z are said to be the real numbers, then what is the value of (x - y)3 + (y - z)3 + (z - x)3?
  1. 0
  2. (x - y)
  3. (x - y)(y - z)(z - x)
  4. 3(x - y)(y - z)(z - x)
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If x, y, and z are said to be the real numbers, then what is the value of (x - y)3 + (y - z)3 + (z - x)3?

Solution:
Suppose a = (x - y), b = (y - z), and c = (z - x)
On adding a, b, and c we will get
a + b + c = x - y + y - z + z - x
∴ a + b + c =0

So, a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc [because if a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc]

We can say that (x - y)3 + (y - z)3 + (z - x)3 = 3(x - y)(y - z)(z - x)

1টি আমের পূর্বমূল্য = x টাকা 
20% কমে 
1টি আমের বর্তমানমূল্য = x - x এর 20%
                                     = x - 20x /100
                                      = 80x/100
                                      = 0.8x

প্রশ্নমতে,
(12/0.8x) - (12/x) = 2 
(15/x) - (12/x)  = 2
(15 - 12)/x = 2
3/x = 2
2x = 3
x = 3/2 
x = 1.5 

1টি আমের বর্তমানমূল্য = 1.5 × 0.8 = 1.2 টাকা
100 টি আমের বর্তমানমূল্য = 1.2 × 100 টাকা
                                        = 120 টাকা

Jishan took a loan of Tk. 1500 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If he paid Tk. 540 as interest at the end of loan period, what was the rate of interest?
  1. 2%
  2. 3%
  3. 4%
  4. 6%
ব্যাখ্যা

Simple interest is the same as the rate of interest.
Hence,
Rate of interest = R% and Time = R years

S.I. = (P × R × R)/100
⇒ 60 = (1500 × R2)/100
⇒ 15R2= 540
⇒ R2 = 36
⇒ R=6 %

Rate of Interest = 6%.

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A merchant has 1000kg of sugar, part of which he sells at 8% profit and the rest at 18% profit. He gains 14% overall. The quantity sold at 18% profit is-

Solution:
Let the sugar sell at 18% profit is = x
So, the sugar sell at of 8% profit = 1000-x

According to question,
18% of x + 8% of (1000 -x) = 14% of 1000
→ 18x/100 + (8000 - 8x)/100 = 14000/100
→ 18x + 8000 - 8x = 14000 (multiplying both sides by 100)
→ 10x = 6000
→ x = 600 kg

If a regular polygon has each of its interior angle equal to 175°, then find the number of sides of the polygon. 
  1. 72 sides
  2. 80 sides
  3. 180 sides
  4. 90 sides
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If a regular polygon has each of its interior angle equal to 175°, then find the number of sides of the polygon.

Solution:
Given that,
Each interior angle = 175°

We know,
Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180
Each interior angle = Sum of interior angles ÷ n

Now,
175 = [(n - 2) × 180] ÷ n
⇒ 175 × n = (n - 2) × 180
⇒ 175n = 180n - 360
⇒ 180n - 175n = 360
⇒ 5n = 360
⇒ n = 360/5
∴ n = 72

So, the polygon has 72 sides.

ব্যাখ্যা
Question:

In the figure above, the two square regions have areas 16 and 25, respectively. What is the area of the shaded triangular region?

Solution:
Area of the first square = 16.
∴ Side of the first square = 4.

Area of the tilted square = 25.
∴ Side of the tilted square = 5.

The side of the tilted square becomes the hypotenuse of the triangle = 5.
The side of the first square becomes the height of the triangle. = 4.
Then by Pythagoras theorem,
base2 + height2 = hypotenuse2
⇒ base2 + 42 = 52
⇒ base2 + 16 = 25
⇒ base2 = 9
∴ base = 3

Area of the triangle = (1/2) × 3 × 4 = 6.

সমাধান:
ধরি, মোট সময় 9 ঘন্টা পর চৌবাচ্চাটি পূর্ণ হয়। এই সম্পূর্ণ সময়ে কেবল নল Y খোলা ছিল।

নল Y, 15 ঘন্টায় চৌবাচ্চাটি পূর্ণ করতে পারে।
∴ 1 ঘন্টায় Y পূর্ণ করে 1/15 অংশ।
∴ 9 ঘন্টায় Y পূর্ণ করে = 9/15 অংশ
= 3/5 অংশ।

অবশিষ্ট অংশ যা X পূর্ণ করেছিল = 1 - 3/5 অংশ
= 2/5 অংশ।

নল X, 10 ঘন্টায় পূর্ণ করে 1 অংশ।
∴ 1 অংশ পূর্ণ করে 10 ঘন্টায়।
∴ 2/5 অংশ পূর্ণ করে = (10 × 2/5) ঘন্টা
= 4 ঘন্টা।

∴ নল X কে 4 ঘন্টা পর বন্ধ করতে হবে।

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: a is greater than b by 2 and b is greater than c by 10. If a + b + c = 130, then (b + c) - a =?

Solution:
According to the question,
b = c + 10
a = b + 2
Or, a = c + 10 + 2
Or, a = c + 12
Now, a + b + c = 130
Or, c + 12 + c + 10 + c = 130
Or, 3c + 22 = 130
Or, 3c = 108
∴ c = 36

Now, (b + c) - a = (c + 10 + c) - (c + 12)
= 2c + 10 - c - 12
= c - 2
= 36 - 2
= 34

Less work, Less days ( Direct proportion)
Let the required number of days be x
Then,
⇔ (1/3) : (2/3) : : 13 : X
⇔ (1/3)/(2/3) = 13/X
⇔ 1/2 = 13/X
⇔ X = 13 × 2 = 26 days

  3. 12%
  4. 20%
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: At what rate of compound interest per annum will a sum of Tk. 4000 becomes Tk. 4840 in 2 years?

​Solution:
Principal, P = Tk. 4000
Compound Amount, C = Tk. 4840
Time, n = 2 years
Rate, r = ?

We know,
C = P × (1 + r/100)n
⇒ 4840 = 4000 × (1 + r/100)2
⇒ (1 + r/100)2 = 4840/4000 
⇒ (1 + r/100)2 = 484/400
⇒ 1 + r/100 = 22/20 [উভয়পাশে বর্গমূল করে]
⇒ r/100 = (11/10) - 1
⇒ r/100 = (11 - 10)/10
⇒ r/100 = 1/10
⇒ r = (1 × 100)/10
∴ r = 10

∴ Interest Rate = 10%

Question: The average of 4 positive integers is 59. The highest integer is 83 and the lowest integer is 29. The difference between the remaining two integers is 28. Which of the following integers is higher of the remaining two integers?

Solution:
Sum of four integers = 59 × 4 = 236
Let the required integers be x and x - 28
Then, x + (x - 28) = 236 - (83 + 29)
⇒ 2x - 28 = 124
⇒ 2x = 152

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangular park is 7 : 5. A man runs along its boundary at 8 km/hr and takes 9 minutes for one round. Find its area in sq. meters.

Solution:
One round of the park is equal to the perimeter of the park.
So, by completing one round, the man covers a distance equal to the perimeter of the park.
Now,
Distance or perimeter = speed × time
= 8 × (9/60)
= 1.2 km
= 1200 meters

Let,
Length = 7x and breadth = 5x
So, Perimeter,
2(7x + 5x) = 1200
⇒ 24x = 1200
∴ x =1200/24 = 50 meters

So, Length = 7 × 50 = 350 meters
And, Breadth = 5 × 50 = 250 meters

Area = Length × Breadth
= 350 × 250
= 87500 sq. m.

Question: The average of 3, 5, 7, and x is 6, and the average of 6, 2, x, and y is 7. What are the values of x and y?

Solution: 
Given that,
The average of 3, 5, 7, and x is 6

Therefore,
6 = (3 + 5 + 7 + x​)/4
⇒ 24 = 15 + x
⇒ x = 24 - 15
∴ x = 9

Therefore,
7 = (6 + 2 + x + y​)/4
⇒ 7 = (6 + 2 + 9 + y​)/4
⇒ 28 = 17 + y
⇒ y = 28 - 17
∴ y = 11

Question: Find the greatest number, which on dividing 1657 and 2037 leaves remainders 6 and 5 respectively.

Solution:

The number on dividing 1657 and 2037 leaves remainders 6 and 5 respectively.
Hence, make the dividend completely divisible by the divisor. This is possible, if we subtract remainders from the dividend.
Therefore,
1657 - 6 = 1651
2037 - 5 = 2032

H.C.F. of 1651 and 2032 is 127. 127 is the common factor.
127 × 13 = 1651
Thus by adding 6, we get 1651 + 6 = 1657

Hence, the required answer is 127

Question: 84 is divided into two parts so that 4 times one part and 12 times the another part are together equal to 544. The parts are?

Solution:
let,
The two parts be x and (84 - x)

ATQ,
⇒ 4x + 12(84 - x) = 544
⇒ 4x + 1008 - 12x = 544
⇒ - 8x = 544 - 1008
⇒ - 7x = - 464
⇒ x =  464/8
∴ x = 58

So one part is 58 and other part is = 84 - 58 = 26

∴ The two parts are 58 and 26

Question: HCF and LCM of two numbers are 6 and 180 respectively. If the numbers are between 30 and 80, what is the sum of the numbers? 

Solution:
Given that,
HCF and LCM of two numbers are 6 and 180.

Let the numbers be 6x and 6y (where x and y are co-prime)
∴ LCM = 6xy
∴ 6xy = 180
⇒ xy = 180/6 = 30

Possible co-prime factor pairs of 30: (1, 30), (2, 15), (3, 10), (5, 6)

The numbers must lie between 30 and 80:
6 × 5 = 30 and 6 × 6 = 36, both between 30 and 80

Other pairs give at least one number ≤ 18 or ≥ 90, not valid
∴ Required numbers are 30 and 36
∴ Sum of the numbers = 30 + 36 = 66

So, the sum of the numbers is 66.

Question: A chemist has two solutions, one containing 30% acid and the other containing 70% acid. How many liters of each solution should be mixed to get 10 liters of a solution containing 50% acid?

Solution:
Let x be the liters of the 30% acid solution.
Then, (10 - x) would be the liters of the 70% acid solution.

Amount of acid from 30% solution = 30% of x = 0.3x
Amount of acid from 70% solution = 70% of (10 - x) = 0.7(10 - x)

Total amount of acid in the mixture = Amount of acid from 30% solution + Amount of acid from 70% solution
0.3x + 0.7(10 - x) = 0.5(10)

Solve for x:
0.3x + 7 - 0.7x = 5
0.3x - 0.7x = 5 - 7
-0.4x = -2
x = -2 / -0.4
x = 5

So, 5 liters of the 30% acid solution should be mixed with (10 - 5) = 5 liters of the 70% acid solution to obtain 10 liters of the 50% acid solution.

Question: A 42 liter mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 3 : 4. How many liters of milk must be added to the mixture so that the ratio of milk to water becomes 1 : 1?

Solution:
The ratio of milk to water is 3 : 4
Total portion = 3 + 4 = 7

Quantity of milk = 42 × (3/7) = 18 liters.
Quantity of water = 42 × (4/7) = 24 liters.

Let,
Quantity of milk to be added = x liters

According to the question,
(18 + x) : 24 = 1 : 1
⇒ (18 + x)/24 = 1/1
⇒ 18 + x = 24
⇒ x = 24 - 18
⇒ x = 6

∴ Quantity of milk to be added = 6 liters
